# Château-Vieux

Bayonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Château-Vieux stands in Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 2nd century, 12th century, first quarter of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Bayonne, the Château-Vieux stands at the corner of a 2nd-century Roman enclosure, incorporating three towers that were reinforced by the viscounts of Labourd from the late 11th century onward. The site was later reworked under Vauban, becoming a strongpoint in the town's defensive system after its keep was demolished. Still used by the military, it remains the seat of the local army command.

**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.
