Château-musée Henri IV
Musée de France
Maison des Illustres
A beautiful Renaissance building, this wing has a long gallery adorned with twisted columns. On the ground floor, the vaulted rooms present the art of living during the Renaissance. On the first floor, furniture, paintings and tapestries enliven the exhibition devoted to Henri IV and the d'Albret family.
Set in the historic town of Nérac, the château was built in the 15th century by Alain d'Albret le Grand, the great-great-grandfather of Henri IV. The main residence of the future Henri IV and his wife Queen Marguerite de Valois, known as Queen Margot, from 1577 to 1582, it bears witness to the heyday of the d'Albret family and the Nérac court during the Renaissance. Most of the château was dismantled during the French Revolution, and all that remains today is the remarkable north wing of the inner courtyard.
The Château de Nérac offers a wide range of original activities. Cultural events throughout the summer season.
