Château de Labro stands in Parisot (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Labro Castle, built in the 14th century by the La Valette family, survives only in fragmentary form today. Of the original plan, which featured two wings flanking a keep and a fortified wall with round towers, only the main residence remains, accompanied by a staircase tower. The structure bears traces of long occupation: medieval features such as mullioned windows and pointed arches coexist with 18th-century alterations that transformed its interior.

What to know

A former pigeon house marks a distinctive feature of the site: divided into three levels with barrel vaults or flooring, it opens through a door decorated with a shield and an ogival arch.
The main residence rises above a basement with a groin vault forming a room, a remnant of the original defensive architecture.
The southern tower, overlooking a ravine, was reinforced with a drip edge to prevent damage caused by rodents.
Only fragments survive from the 14th and 15th centuries: the residence, the staircase tower, and the pigeon tower; the two original wings and most of the fortified wall have disappeared.
