Ancien château des comtes d'Armagnac, Medieval castle in Lectoure, France.

The castle features western wing remains and a square bastion integrated into the town's defensive walls overlooking the Gers countryside.

The counts of Armagnac resided in this fortress until 1473, when King Louis XI captured the city during military campaigns.

The castle transformed into a manufacturing hospital in 1749, where workers produced linen and hemp textiles in the basement.

The site now functions as an antiques village, open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM, accessible through public transport from Auch-Agen line.

A small cemetery belonging to the Nevers nuns, who managed the hospital, remains adjacent to the fortified bastion.
