Honor Tower
About This Museum
The Honor Tower stands as a proud, if slightly weathered, sentinel over the Médoc vineyards. It doesn't just mark the landscape; it tells the story of Lesparre's medieval seigneurs, the powerful lords who once ruled this land of wine and marsh. Climbing its worn stone steps feels like a journey back through centuries of local history. Up top, you're rewarded with a breathtaking panorama of endless vines stretching out towards the Gironde estuary.
Collection Highlights
Inside, you'll find old parchments and artifacts that speak to the daily life of the Middle Ages. The most compelling exhibits are the detailed models showing what the original castle complex looked like in its full glory. Don't miss the small display on Florimond de Lesparre, a local knight who even fought alongside Joan of Arc.
Visitor Information
It's right there on Rue Pierre Curie—you can't miss it. Pop in during their opening hours; it's a modest fee to step inside a piece of history. Just be prepared for those steep, narrow stairs if you want the best view in the Médoc.
Architecture & Building
It's a classic, sturdy medieval keep built from the local pale stone, square and formidable with those tell-tale narrow windows designed for defense rather than scenery.
