Château d'Ampelle stands in Pergain-Taillac (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In the Gers department, at Pergain-Taillac, the château d'Ampelle displays its large rectangular structure raised in the second half of the 13th century, a notable example of a fortified Gascon-style castle. Its south-eastern façade preserves a rare defensive arrangement, with projecting stone courses that once held wooden beams shielded by arrow slits. The thick walls of the southern section, added between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, speak to a strong military purpose, before windows and fireplaces softened the building around 1500. From its heights, the view extends to the neighbouring castles of Escalup and Sainte-Mère, to Lectoure and Laplume, and on clear days as far as the Pyrenees.
