88 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 295 castles we list in Gironde, these 88 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 88 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 73 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Porte du Palais (ou Porte Cailhau) (open to visitors), Domaine de Certes (free entry), Château de Villandraut (Villandraut Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Rauzan (Rauzan Castle) (738 reviews) and Château Haussmann (Haussmann Castle) (with a restaurant).

33 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 25 and the prices of 9 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 16 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 88 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
