Château de Chambes stands in Terres-de-Haute-Charente (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century).

On the banks of the Charente river, the château de Chambes shows a 16th-century façade flanked by two mismatched towers, one round and one square. The building blends several construction periods, from the Middle Ages to 19th-century renovations, with an L-shaped main house completed by outbuildings, a former mill and a bakehouse. Bought in 2008 by the impersonator Yves Lecoq, the estate now operates as a guesthouse.
