Castel de Floirac stands in Floirac (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Floirac, on the edge of Bordeaux, this neo-Gothic castle stands within a park now open to the public. Built around 1852 for a former mayor of the town, it gained an Art Deco extension in 1924 added to its original structure. The building itself cannot be visited, but its grounds and former outbuildings trace the history of a vineyard estate turned bourgeois residence and later a municipal property.
