Château d'Avensac stands in Avensac (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, first half of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the Gers département, the château d'Avensac combines the remains of a 14th century fortress with a residence rebuilt around 1830. From the medieval structure survive a keep standing above an entrance postern and a thick defensive wall now incorporated into the later buildings. The 19th century facade, with a single upper storey, overlooks two terraces cut into the hillside and continues into two symmetrical wings enclosing a courtyard closed off by a wrought iron gate.
