Château d'Agassac stands in Ludon-Médoc (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 14th century, 17th century, 19th century).

In the Haut-Médoc, some fifteen minutes north of Bordeaux, the château d'Agassac stands surrounded by moats, a bridge and canals that recall its medieval defensive origins. Built in the 13th century and reworked in the early 14th, altered again in the 17th and restored in the 19th, it keeps a square plan with round corner turrets pierced by arrow slits. The surrounding estate remains a working vineyard, with its old cellars and circular dovecote preserved near the main building.
