Chateau Trompette was a fortress built right after the hundred year’s war ; After having spent three centuries under english control, the city of Bordeaux decided to build the Chateau Trompette and Chateau du Hâ in order to protect themselves from further attacks from the english.
It was destroyed by Bordeaux citizens at first but quickly rebuilt under Louis XIV’s request. It was totally destroyed and replaced by Place des Quinconces in 1818.
