The Château de Saint-Martin de Toques is a castle located in Bizanet, in France, Aude department, Occitania.

Around 1020, a Guillelmus Hibrini paid homage and took an oath of loyalty to the Viscount of Narbonne and his wife for the castles of Durban and Saint-Martin-de-Toques. He was probably part of the family from Durban who were part of the entourage of the house of Narbonne.

The building was listed as a historic monument in 1926.

Today Beauregard Mirouze wineries are located around.

Bizanet Écouter is a French commune located in the north-east of the Aude department in the Occitania region.
