Château de Bergin stands in Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de Bergin is a former fortified house dating from the 14th century, standing in the countryside of Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu in Savoie, a short distance northeast of the village. Today it looks like a farm complex arranged around a courtyard, where a semicircular tower with defensive openings and several carved stone details recall its original fortified character. It remains a private residence and cannot be visited, though its surrounding vineyard produces wine sold under the château's name.
