Built in 1373 by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn (known as "Gaston Fébus") , the Château de Morlanne is one of the finest examples of Fébusian construction on the borders of Landes and Béarn. Its stone and brick architecture makes it an atypical medieval fortress, testifying to the clever methods of its Languedoc architect Sicard de Lordat. Site protected as a Historic Monument . More than 200 works are classified or registered as Historic Monuments.
Inside, 5 exhibition rooms present the restoration of the site and the collection of art objects bequeathed by Hélène and Raymond Ritter, the last private owners who made the castle their home until 2003.
The castle has a park that is freely accessible year-round. The "Aux temps de Fébus" audio tour is free and open to the public.
