Château de Salies-du-Salat stands in Salies-du-Salat (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is not open to visitors.
Perched on a hill overlooking the meeting point of the Salat and Garonne rivers, the ruined château de Salies-du-Salat once guarded the entrance to the Couserans region. All that remains of the stronghold is a square keep set on a motte and surrounded by a deep ditch, along with a second enclosure containing the remains of a 14th-century castle chapel. This is a site for those drawn to quiet historical remains rather than a fully restored monument.
