The Château d' Homps is a ruined castle in the commune of Homps in the Gers département of France. The 13th-century fortification on a rocky outcrop was abandoned for a more comfortable house built in the 16th century. It was sold as a national asset at the time of the French Revolution and used as a quarry. Only a tower converted into a pigeon loft has been saved intact. The courtyard and parts of the enceinte are still visible. The privately owned castle has been listed since 1999 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
