Château d'Estresse stands in Astaillac (Corrèze), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set on a terrace above the Dordogne river at Astaillac, in the Corrèze department, the château d'Estresse combines a main building flanked by two square towers, resting on a 200-metre medieval wall rising straight from the water. The structure dates mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries, with alterations made in the early 20th century following a period of neglect. Notable features include an entrance gate with a flattened arch topped by a machicolation pierced with gun loops, and a garden planted with two very old yew trees.
