Terrebasse Castle, built gradually from the 15th century onward, owes its present appearance to major 18th-century transformations. A central main building unites the medieval original structure to the south and an unfinished northern wing, while the park was redesigned with a terrace and formal parterres. The interior preserves 18th-century features: French-style ceilings and period panelling, complemented by 19th-century improvements.
