Château de Bordères-Louron

The Château de Bordères-Louron is a ruined castle in the commune of Bordères-Louron in the Hautes-Pyrénées département of France.[1]

History

The castle was built in the third quarter of the 13th century. It belonged to the family of Roger d'Espagne (Roger of Spain) from the 14th century. In 1740, a fire destroyed much of the village and the castle. Remains of the castle's enceinte are still visible.[1]

The castle ruins are privately owned.[1]
