The Château de Lastours is a ruined castle in the "commune" of Sainte-Croix in the Lot "département" of France.
The castle dates from the 13th century, with additions and alterations form the 14th and 17th centuries. It consists of a rectangular "corps de logis" with large double windows, flanked by two large square towers. The western tower houses a vaulted room which could have been a chapel. To the south of the "corps de logis", a vast courtyard is enclosed in the south and west by the remains of an "enceinte". In the south west corner, there is a square tower; in the south east corner, a round tower.
The castle is privately owned. It has been listed since 1993 as a "monument historique" by the French Ministry of Culture.
