Château du Pin, Fortified house in Fabras, France.

Château du Pin is a fortified house on a hillside in Fabras, built on three levels. In 1591 it was flanked by four towers and topped by a central round tower; three towers remain, and the central tower was absorbed into the main building. The south facade has an ogee door of the 15th century and a Renaissance door opening onto a spiral staircase.

The Chanaleilles family built the château in the 12th century and lived there until the early 18th century; their coat of arms, three greyhounds on gold, survives on one of the gates. In 1591, during the Wars of Religion, the three-level building was flanked by four towers with another round tower on top. Abbé Labro, curé of Fabras, was murdered in the castle in 1802; the estate was later divided, reunited by the Boissin family, and bought in 1957 by painter Colette Bonzo and her husband Elie Bontzolakis.

The château has housed a contemporary creation centre since 1994, open to the public only part of the year. It stages visual and performing arts and publishing, notably during the "Estivales du Château du Pin". A permanent selection of Colette Bonzo's paintings is shown, alongside the studio of sculptor and ceramicist Martine Diersé.

The château opens to the public only part of the year, since 1994. The site lies about ten kilometres west of Aubenas, in the commune of Fabras. The gardens created from 2001 onward are open to visitors, and the terraced grounds and hillside setting involve walking.

The garden walls enclose a "dry garden" laid out where 16th-century stables burned; their surviving walls still bound it. About a hundred ceramic flowers on rebar stems are planted in groups of seven, shaped as grimacing heads, handprints and fists. Two large fig trees planted in the 1960s were kept.
