Château d'Aron stands in Aron (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

At Aron, within the Forges park, a lone round tower is all that remains of a fortified castle built in the 15th century. The moats that once surrounded it have long since been filled in, yet the tower's sturdy form still hints at the old defensive enclosure. There is nothing restored about this site: it is a quiet ruin set in the Mayenne countryside, one that survived the Hundred Years' War and the turmoil of the Catholic League before falling into decline.
