Château de Latoue stands in Latoue (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 13th century, 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Latoue, located in Haute-Garonne, is a stone building whose oldest parts date to the 11th century. Its early keep, set at the north-east corner, was enlarged over the centuries with new structures: a 13th-century tower featuring a spiral staircase, a 16th-century turret added at an angled corner on squinch, and finally an 18th-century residence in which Louis XV-style wood panelling survives in several rooms. Traces of a 16th-century fire and the repairs that followed are visible in its composite architecture.
