This 13th century castle features a two-storey main building, framed by two towers on the facade. The south tower (on the left from the gate) was originally used as a prison. It was also surrounded by a moat and a surrounding wall. In the 17th century, the mullioned windows of the façade were opened and side buildings were attached to the main body forming with it the entrance courtyard. It was then that Jean de Caupos, who became Viscount of Biscarrosse, renovated the building, giving it the appearance it has today. The 17th and 18th century stone fireplaces have been preserved. A large avenue of poplars offers a view of the lake. Memories of witnesses, now disappeared, evoke a subterranean passage linking the base of the former north-west tower with the wooded dunes beyond the small lake. This castle cannot be visited.

Historical monument, state property.

Les moulins « avant » : C'est à l'époque révolutionnaire que la construction des moulins fut envisagée. Avant 1840, on recensait cinq moulins à vent à Biscarrosse. Le Moulin du Nord sur le camin Arriaou (voie romaine) quartier Arnaudin. Le Moulin de GABRIEL près de la craste neuve sur la lande du FREZAT. Le Moulin de GOUBERN devant le Bosque. Le Moulin de MEGNICAT à l'intersection du chemin Arriaou et de la piste 17, rue Forestiere à la Z. I. Le Moulin de la PASTEBUCH à Caillaou au bout de la piste de l'aérodrome. Un sixième moulin existait près de la craste du HOUDIT celui de MAOU(E) : sa maison passait pour être hantée. La loi de 1857 obligea les communes à assainir leurs vacants pour y planter des pins. Les moulins se retrouvèrent très vite entourés de pins formant un véritable écran contre le vent. Trois moulins furent alors reconstruits pour bénéficier des vents d'Ouest ; celui de MOUSSA et le moulin JEANTIC près de la craste de Chécot au bord du lac Sud, enfin le moulin d'ENCHON au bord du lac Nord.
