Observatory Castle of Abbadia

Relive Antoine d’Abbadie’s voyages in his own home which was built at the end of the 19th century by Eugène Viollet le Duc.

The Castle observatory Abbadia is a site beyond your imagination !

Overhanging the sheer clives of Hendaye in the middle of a moor, he was built between 1864 and 1884 by Viollet le Duc for Antoine d'Abbadie who was ethnologist, geographer and scientist.

Abbadia is open all year long, except 3 weeks in January.

Guided tours are in french, but you can also discover the castle with a leaflet in English.
