Château de Nages stands in Nages (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Nages stands in the Tarn region, built around 1356 during the Hundred Years' War to withstand attacks from the Black Prince's forces. Captured and plundered by Huguenot troops in 1586, it still bears the mark of that episode in a tower converted into a bell tower for the nearby church, destroyed during the assault. Held by the Thézan family until the Revolution and later passed to the Lévis-Mirepoix, the castle now belongs to several owners. Part of the building is open to visitors and displays medieval and Renaissance objects, including a fireplace from the château d'Escroux installed in the kitchen in 2018.
