# Château de Rauzan

Rauzan, Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Château de Rauzan stands in Rauzan (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rock inhabited since antiquity, Rauzan castle was built by John Lackland, then Duke of Guyenne and King of England. Captured by Bertrand Du Guesclin in 1377, this witness to the Hundred Years' War passed through the hands of the Madaillan family, then the Durfort de Duras, before falling into neglect that cost it its northern section, stripped by Bordeaux quarrymen in the 19th century. Visitors today can see a cylindrical 14th-century keep, seigneurial lodgings remodeled in the 15th century, and an honour tower with a flamboyant gothic doorway.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
