Château de Fondelin stands in Condom (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Fondelin château, situated near Condom, has existed since the late sixteenth century. Its present form stems from modifications undertaken between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, with substantial reconstruction around the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The main façade, framed by two side pavilions, displays regular composition with restrained decoration. The estate includes two complementary elements: a neo-gothic chapel with historical stained glass windows, and a nineteenth-century landscape park designed by the renowned gardener Bühler.
