The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce château illustre l'importance politique et économique de la communauté juive de Bayonne, tout particulièrement au 19e siècle où cet ancien domaine viticole est transformé en maison de campagne. Placée sur la ligne de front durant le siège de Bayonne en 1814, la demeure fut le théâtre de violents combats. Elle est restaurée dès 1848 puis à nouveau transformée en 1918 par l'architecte Gomez. Au nord, les jardins sont composés de trois parties distinctes : un jardin d'agrément entourant la villa ; une terrasse surplombant la pente du vallon ; la forte pente et le vallon en contre-bas

This castle illustrates the political and economic importance of the Jewish community of Bayonne, particularly in the 19th century when this former wine-producing estate was transformed into a country house. Located on the front line during the siege of Bayonne in 1814, the dwelling was the theatre of violent combat. It is restored from 1848 then again transformed in 1918 by the architect Gomez. To the north, the gardens are composed of three distinct parts: a pleasure garden surrounding the villa; a terrace overlooking the slope of the valley; the steep slope and the valley below.
