Maslacq

Maslacq's main landmark is the Chateau de Maslacq, originally an abbey mentioned in the 16th century and reconstructed in classical form in 1774 -- a main building over two stories flanked by two wings. The d'Abbadie d'Arboucave family occupied it for three centuries. During WWII it served as a fallback facility for the Ecole des Roches in the free zone. Across the road stands an important circular dovecote topped with a dome. The chateau is private and not open to visits, but visible from the road.
