Where: Panassac

Motte féodale de Panassac stands in Panassac (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). No visits are on record for this building.

Northwest of the village of Panassac in the Gers department, an earthen mound known locally as the Tuco de Panassac marks the site of a former medieval stronghold. Likely abandoned by the late 11th century, it still shows its surrounding ditches and the ruined remains of a structure at its summit. This is a site of field archaeology rather than a restored monument, worth seeing to understand rural medieval defensive layouts.
