The Flames of Camou: A Navarre's Ghostly Resilience

In the heart of Navarre, Spain, the Château de Camou, established by the Abbadie family centuries ago, has witness an extraordinary amount of calamity. The French took over its original defenses in the 12th century. In the 19th century, this castle was turned into a pile of rubble. Yet, the Abbadie lineage endured, rebuilding it once more. In the same vein, the Château de Camou was once again engulfed in flames in 1997, but it was granted Monument historique status back in 1993. This castle, initiated by Joan d’Abbadie, has housed several generations of the Abbadie family. Today, this wreck of a castle is undergoing restoration, and a library, Gamue Jauregia, was established within its walls in 1995.
