Château de Cambray stands in Éole-en-Beauce (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: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Cambray Castle, established in Beauce from the mid-17th century, demonstrates three centuries of successive transformations. Built between 1655 and 1663, it received a second pavilion framing its central block in the 18th century, before the 19th century added a neo-gothic chapel and connecting towers. The estate includes ornamental gardens, a park with paths forming a sundial pattern, and farm buildings surrounding the courtyard.
