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

Of the 98 castles we list in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, these 37 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 37 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 37 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Fort du Socoa (open to visitors), Château d'Urtubie (Urtubie Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château-Vieux (a listed historic monument), Château de Maÿtie (Maÿtie Castle) (112 reviews) and Château de Mascaraàs (Mascaraàs Castle) (open to visitors).

5 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 5 and the prices of 2 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 6 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 37 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
