The Château de Villandraut is a ruined castle in the commune of Villandraut in the Gironde département of France.[1]
The castle was built by Bertrand de Goth when he was elected Pope under the name of Clement V.[1]
Born in Villandraut, he maintained throughout his life a special affection for his region of origin. This sumptuous castle was destined to serve as his residence during his stays in Guyenne (Aquitaine).[citation needed]
The castle has been classified since 1886 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
