En un regard
Le château en bref
Château d'Agès is located at Morcenx-Bourg, in the commune of Morcenx-la-Nouvelle, in the Landes. It was the seat of the d'Agès family, a family of the robe and the sword who for centuries shaped the life of the village through their lands, their judicial offices and military service. The dating of the present building varies depending on the sources: the record attributes it mainly to the 17th and 18th centuries, whereas a secondary inventory describes it as a château in the Second Empire style. In the 19th century, under the Second Empire, the arrival of the railway made it possible to bring in stone from Charente and slates from Angers for the upkeep of the estate. It is a plain main building with a symmetrical façade, in the tradition of the Landes maisons de maître, surrounded by a park planted with old oak trees. An official environmental document from 2022 notes a bed-and-breakfast activity. No protection under the monuments historiques designation has been identified. It should not be confused with the Château de Moré, another residence in Morcenx that has become municipal property.
