Château de Burlats stands in Burlats (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
In Burlats, in the Tarn department, this U-shaped castle combines a 14th-century keep, the only surviving remnant of the Montbrun family's fortress, with a main wing rebuilt around 1630 after the damage caused by the Wars of Religion. The ogee-arched doorway leading to the keep and the numerous mullioned windows of the residence reflect two distinct building periods. Around the structure, gardens with box hedge patterns and a fountain round out the visit.
