Château de Flamarens, Medieval castle in Flamarens, France

The castle features a massive 12-meter diameter tower and three-level walls constructed with local limestone, displaying traditional Gascon architectural elements.

Built in 1466 by Jean de Grossolles, the fortress served as protection during the Hundred Years War and received additions until 1535.

The castle hosts theater productions, classical concerts, and art exhibitions through the AT32 association, enriching rural cultural activities since 2011.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds from July to August, with guided tours available for groups between 10 and 30 people.

A lightning strike in 1943 caused a fire that destroyed the northern roofs, leading to ongoing restoration efforts supported by the Heritage Lottery.
