Château d'Ereck stands in Questembert (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

North of Questembert, the Château d'Ereck stands on a high point of a plateau where a 16th century building replaced an earlier stronghold said to have been founded by Erech, son of the Armorican king Audren. The main residence, deemed beyond repair, was torn down in the late 1960s, but the outbuildings, the main courtyard with its octagonal well, the gardens and the moats remain and are protected. The three carved fireplaces that once adorned the interior were rescued and moved to the Château de Kerjean in Finistère. The site today retains an agricultural use, with the surviving buildings serving as farm structures.
