Maison forte de Labatut

On the heights of Massugas, this fortified house has undergone several modifications over the centuries. Two enormous defensive towers dating from the Hundred Years' War, pierced with loopholes and mullioned windows, frame an elegant 18th century central body. The ensemble was protected by a moat, as can still be seen by walking along the south and west wings. The numerous corbels that remain indicate that it was defended by a system of parapet walkways with machicolations. The estate is now a wine estate in AOC Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur.
