Labarom château is a dwelling built between 1490 and 1507 in Saint-Martin-la-Pallu, standing as evidence of the shift from late Gothic to classical architecture. Originally set within a moated enclosure with courtyard and gardens, it retains its rectangular form and an eastern square tower, though nineteenth-century demolitions erased its medieval features. The interior spans several centuries: a dated and signed Regency fireplace in the dining room, nineteenth-century woodwork in the main hall, and sixteenth and seventeenth-century timber panels reassembled in the corridor of the upper floor.

Both the dovecote and the main dwelling are listed as historical monuments, along with the outbuildings, pools and fountain.
Successive transformations, particularly in the nineteenth century, significantly altered the appearance of the original structure.
