Château de Bordères-Louron stands in Bordères-Louron (Hautes-Pyrénées), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The Hautes-Pyrénées village of Bordères-Louron still holds traces of a fortified castle dating back to the 1250-1275 period. Ownership of the stronghold shifted to the Roger d'Espagne family during the 14th century, but a 1740 fire ravaged both the village and the building. What remains today of this medieval heritage is limited to portions of the enclosure wall.
