The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château est typique, par sa simplicité, des constructions nobles de la province de Labourd dont Ustaritz fut la capitale jusqu'en 1789. La façade principale est encadrée par deux pavillons en saillie qui se prolongent à l'est par un bâtiment placé en équerre, reconstruit au 19e siècle, et à l'ouest par les services. Une chapelle a été aménagée au 19e siècle sur les premier et second étages. Un grand escalier central donne accès aux pièces des étages par l'intermédiaire de couloirs circulant bizarrement du côté sud.

The castle is typical, in its simplicity, of the noble constructions of the province of Labourd of which Ustaritz was the capital until 1789. The main façade is framed by two projecting pavilions which extend to the east by a building placed at right angles, rebuilt in the 19th century, and to the west by the service rooms. A chapel was fitted out in the 19th century on the first and second storeys. A large central staircase gives access to the rooms of the storeys by means of corridors running strangely on the south side.
