Château d'Herbault-en-Sologne stands in Neuvy (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

North of Neuvy, in the Sologne region, the Château d'Herbault stands with its 16th century main building flanked by two round towers, surrounded by moats on three sides. Rebuilt after a fire in 1525, it bears the mark of unfinished work, halted by the death of its owner before his successor added the outbuildings and the chapel. Reconstructed French style gardens now accompany the whole estate.
