History
editThe castle was once the home of Viscounts of Dax. The castle was captured by the French in 1442 and also in 1451 during the Gascon campaign of 1450-1453 to expel the English from the Duchy of Gascony. Decommissioned as a military barracks in 1888, the castle was demolished in 1891.
The Hôtel Splendid now stands on the site.
