Château de Cénevières stands in Cénevières (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a sheer cliff above the Lot valley, the château of Cénevières combines medieval defensive architecture with Renaissance additions from the 16th century. Visitors can see an irregular cluster of buildings flanked by towers, a colonnaded gallery running around the main hall, and a room with surviving mural paintings drawn from ancient mythology. The site ranks among the notable Renaissance residences of the Quercy region, alongside Montal or Assier.
