Château d'Ahetzia

En un regard

Le château en bref

In Ordiarp, in Soule, the Château d'Ahetzia occupies the site of a noble estate first mentioned in the thirteenth century, one of the two noble houses of the village. The Ahetzia family built a residence with a symmetrical composition, flanked by a cylindrical turret with a pointed roof. The west façade consists of two pavilions, one of which rises over three storeys; the windows retain moulded wooden mullions, and three dormer windows with stone crosspieces are crowned by triangular pediments. The residence remained in the hands of the Ahetzia family until the late nineteenth century. Today a privately owned property surrounded by orchards and meadows, it is cited among the principal seigneurial houses of the Soule heritage.
