En un regard
Le château en bref
Mauvezin Castle, in the commune of Mauvezin near Capvern (Hautes-Pyrénées), is a fortress built on a rocky spur from the 12th century and completed at the end of the 14th century by Gaston Febus, who turned it into a stronghold overlooking the road from Toulouse to Bayonne. The crenellated keep and the inner courtyard, where reconstructions of medieval siege engines are displayed, illustrate the military architecture of the period. Owned by the association Escòla Gaston Febus, the castle is open to visitors, with costumed events and educational workshops.
