Château de Castelmore
The Château de Castelmore is in the commune of Lupiac, in the Gers. It is famous as the traditional birthplace, in 1611, of Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan. The château has a single-storey façade; the slightly raised entrance door is reached by a flight of steps.
There is a round tower to the north and south, and the narrow façade is framed by two square towers. The château can be seen from outside as part of a visit to the village of Lupiac, which pays tribute to the famous musketeer, on a walk through the Gers countryside south of Auch.
