In the Gers department, at Labrihe, the château de Bouvées preserves what remains of a large fortified residence built in the 16th century by a bishop of Aire-sur-Adour, on the foundations of an earlier structure. Of the three wings that once framed a courtyard, only the east and south sections have survived, now extended by farm sheds built against the old walls. A round tower still stands, along with traces of a second one, a dovecote raised on the base of a former tower, and a chapel that has kept its mullioned windows and carved corbels. Inside, old fireplaces, terracotta floors and exposed beam ceilings reflect the building's successive periods.
