LE CHÂTEAU D’ARCANGUES
Château d'Arcangues, an ideal venue for christenings, weddings, film shoots, concerts and recitals.
The family of the lords of Arcangues, known since the 12th century, dominated the local administrative life without interruption from the 16th to the 18th century. On April 30, 1790, the two brothers of Arcangues asked for the abolition of the privileges in the name of the Labourdine nobility. Originally, the residence was built by the lord of Arcangues and Curutcheta, in 1150 and since that time this same family, from father to son - Pierre, Guy, Michel d' Arcangues -, resides there and to whom we owe the renovation of the historical center of the village, the creation of schools, theater, etc., and also the organization of sumptuous festivals. The castle we are visiting today is the fourth one, rebuilt in 1900, on the site of the previous one, with this curious roof that overflows on brackets. It houses a spectacular interior architecture as well as a collection of large tapestries from Gobelins and Aubusson, Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture, the Duke of Wellington's room, family portraits and old paintings, huge peripheral libraries and a very interesting collection of autographs from various celebrities. Since 2009, the castle opens its doors with an interesting museographic space to which is added a store to discover books written by Pierre, Guy and Michel d'Arcangues. The castle organizes lunches and dinners as well as private receptions. It is the ideal place for baptisms, weddings, film shoots, concerts and recitals. And even fashion shows. An exceptional setting.
