# Château de Saint-Blancard

Cap d'Astarac, Gers, Occitanie

Château de Saint-Blancard stands in Cap d'Astarac (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Blancard, in the Gers department, this castle combines 14th-century masonry with neo-gothic additions from the 19th century, rebuilt after a fire in 1888. Visitors can see a layered architecture, where 16th-century window openings and a west tower built at the end of the 19th century meet an enclosing wall modelled on Carcassonne, completed in 1926. The site, occupied since antiquity, also played a role during the Second World War by sheltering artworks from the Louvre.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
