Château de Lugans stands in Gaillac-d'Aveyron (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Gaillac-d'Aveyron, the château de Lugans has stood since the 13th century, built on a quadrangular plan around a narrow, elongated inner courtyard, a layout common to manor houses in this part of the Rouergue region. A round tower anchors the southwest corner, a square tower half embedded in the north façade, and two turrets mark the northeast angle. A projecting pavilion, likely the remains of the original keep, completes the ensemble, which was altered over the centuries and given a basket-arch entrance in the 17th century.
