En un regard
Le château en bref
Horgues Castle (Hautes-Pyrénées), whose construction spans the 15th to the 19th century, predating 1560, was the residence of Captain de Horgues, Count of Lavedan, who resisted the Calvinist forces of Jeanne d'Albret and then defended Tarbes. Remodelled over the centuries, notably by an 18th-century addition to the south-west tower, it has four distinct façades: to the south, two towers with buttresses and triple-lancet windows; to the east, a timber gallery with moulded casement windows; and to the north, a brick watchtower on a stone base. The interior retains Empire-period wallpapers. The castle has been listed as a monument historique since 1977.
