Château d'Illiers stands in Illiers-Combray (Eure-et-Loir), in the Centre-Val de Loire 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.

In Illiers-Combray, in the Eure-et-Loir department, what remains of the château is chiefly a 16th century gatehouse, the only protected part still standing today. It shows two buttresses that thicken into a sloped base, a pointed-arch portal framed by two rows of voussoirs, and a roof dormer whose gable still bears carved decoration on its slopes. The windows, however, have lost their original stone mullions.
