Château de Brassac de Belfortes stands in Brassac (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Facing the château de Brassac de Castelnau across the old bridge over the Agout river, the château de Brassac de Belfortès recalls a long rivalry between two banks of the same town. Built on thirteenth century foundations and altered repeatedly up to the 1920s, it combines a rectangular main building with a round tower overlooking the river. It is also known as château de la Marquise, after an owner who had a chapel added in the early twentieth century. The building now belongs to the town and houses municipal services.
