France · 18th century
The Castle of Marracq (French: château de Marracq) is a ruined 18th-century castle in Bayonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France.
It has been an official Historical Monument since 27 September 1907. Since 2012, the ruins have been under renovation because of intense erosion, due to the lack of roof, that caused a risk of collapsing. The walls have been cleansed and the stones and keystones have been repaired or replaced.
