Château de Tauzia stands in Gradignan (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At Gradignan, on the southern edge of Bordeaux, the château de Tauzia stands at the end of an avenue of century-old plane trees, set back from the Bayonne road. Built in the late 18th century to designs by Victor Louis, the architect of Bordeaux's Grand Théâtre, this former chartreuse-style house was later enlarged in the 19th century into a full château, with its side pavilions and its English-style park laid out by Louis-Bernard Fischer. The central rotunda, topped with a dome, and its stucco decoration and wood mosaic flooring rank among the most notable interior features.
