Château de Charras stands in Charras (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Charras, in the Charente department, this 17th-century château stands close to the village church, within an estate where the main house and its terraced gardens have shaped the site for centuries. Rebuilt after a fire around 1850, the residence retains its main block, a 15th-century tower and an orangery. The main draw is the garden itself: three successive terraces with stone walls, balustrades and staircases, along with two rows of lime trees still standing.
