Château d'Espas stands in Espas (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

What the French Ministry of Culture records

Quadrilatère flanqué de quatre tours carrées. L'absence totale de décor accentue la sobriété de cet édifice à vocation essentiellement militaire. Le seul aménagement, fait vraisemblablement au 17e siècle, consiste en une petite maison de pierre accolée à l'édifice principal et où se trouvent les seules pièces habitables. A l'intérieur, trois piliers à intervalle régulier devaient supporter un plancher. Pas de trace de créneaux ni de mâchicoulis au sommet des murs. Le château fut démantelé sous Richelieu.
