The ruins of Gendulaingo jauregia are located in the town of Gendulain in Navarre. Today, the building is in a very poor state. It is situated between the A-12 highway going from Pamplona to Lizarrara and the Galar service area, approximately 250 metres from the Don Jaume bridge. As it is privately owned, access is generally prohibited.
In the past, the castle was the main building of the town of Gendulain. The ruins of the old church of Gendulaingo stand alongside the castle remains. During the medieval period, it was one of the most important fortresses in the Kingdom of Navarre.
During the Civil War in Navarre in the 14th century, the owner of Gendulaingo sided with the Beaumont family to provide protection to Gaztela. This allegiance led to the destruction of the fortress. In 1521, Agaramontar-Frantziar troops led by Asparot demolished the castle.
