Château de Brax

The Château de Brax is a castle in the commune of Brax in the Haute-Garonne département of France. Originally constructed in the 13th century, there were alterations and additions in the 16th and 18th centuries.[1]

Description

The structure is enclosed by four circular towers. The rear façade incorporates the grand staircase. The brick walls are crenellated. The front opens onto parkland; access is by a double staircase. A round walk carried on machicolations formed of brick corbels and blind arcades circles the whole building.[1]

Privately owned, it has been listed since 1946 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
