Château de Sainte-Mère
The Château de Sainte-Mère is a 13th-century ruined castle in the "commune" of Sainte-Mère in the Gers "département" of France. The castle was built at the time of the Treaty of Amiens (1279) by the Bishop of Lectoure, Géraud de Monlezun. It defended the frontier of the English possessions. The castle had a rectangular shape, with two towers attached to the north facade. It has been listed since 1977 as a "monument historique" by the French Ministry of Culture.
