Château des Fours stands in Cumont (Tarn-et-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château des Fours is a fifteenth-century rectangular building distinguished by four corner towers and facades from different periods. The south facade, with its mullioned windows, belongs to the original construction, while the north facade, remodeled around 1540, displays Renaissance features including fluted pilasters and a triangular pediment. The building, associated with the tradition of Xaintrailles, companion-in-arms of Joan of Arc, testifies to architectural developments between late Gothic and the Renaissance.
