The Château de Chanet stands in the commune of Mareuil en Périgord, in the Dordogne. Its oldest surviving part, a residence flanked by a stair tower, dates back to the late 15th century, before the building was substantially enlarged in the following century. Several building phases can still be traced today: moats, a tower crowned with machicolations, a second wing, and a section topped by a chapel with painted decoration. Demolitions carried out after 1824 altered the complex as it had originally been designed.
