Château de Balanzac stands in Balanzac (Charente-Maritime), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Balanzac, Charente-Maritime, this early 16th-century manor house stands within an oval enclosure still marked by towers and a chapel from the same period. The most striking feature is the hexagonal stair tower on the main façade, along with the corbelled turrets crowning each of the building's four corners. An old gallery links the house to the enclosure, and a well topped with a small stone dome sits in the middle of the courtyard.
