Château de Chailloué stands in Chailloué (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Chailloué, in the Orne department, this château combines remnants of a medieval stronghold with a main building reworked in the 17th century. The moat still surrounds the property, as does the round northwest tower topped with a lantern and the two pavilions flanking the entrance. Beneath later alterations, the site's original defensive purpose remains visible, including traces of a former drawbridge now replaced by a fixed bridge.
