Château de Marin stands in Auch (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
On the outskirts of Auch, the Château de Marin is an example of the fortified houses built in the second half of the 16th century around the town, at a time when comfort had become a growing architectural concern. Its south facade, divided into two unequal wings by a hexagonal tower, still shows ogee arches and a cross mullioned window. A spiral staircase turret topped by a dovecote stands at one corner of the rectangular building, while the west facade was altered in a later period.
