To make a day of it
Château féodal de Bruix stands in Clèdes (Landes), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
Some two and a half kilometres from the village of Clèdes, in the Bois de Bruix, lie the ruins of a feudal castle that once housed the barons of Bruix. Set on the hillsides of the Tursan region, the site recalls a lordly history that ended with the French Revolution, when the last descendants of the family were arrested and guillotined. The ruined structure remains a quiet trace of the minor baronies once scattered across the Landes.
