To make a day of it
Château de Lautrec stands in Lautrec (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The viscomital castle of Lautrec, now completely gone, once stood on the hilltop that still carries the village of the same name in the Tarn department. What remains to see today is not stonework but a place: the site of a stronghold that became, from the 10th century onward, the cradle of the powerful Lautrec family, ancestors of the painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. A windmill now stands where the fortified residence once rose.

What to know
- The castle no longer stands: only its former site, now occupied by a windmill, can be reached on the village hill.
- A visit amounts to viewing a vantage point and a historical site rather than touring a building.
- The village of Lautrec itself, with its half-timbered houses, can be explored separately from the castle site.
- No opening hours or admission fees apply since there is no building open to visitors.
- Reaching the hilltop involves a short, moderate walk up from the village.
