Château de Charron stands in Maillet (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Charron stands in the commune of Maillet, in the Indre department, forming a group that goes beyond the main residence: it is surrounded by a moat, adjoined by a farm, and completed by a dovecote and a reinforced concrete bridge located in the neighbouring communes of Orsennes and Cluis. The whole ensemble was listed as a historic monument in 2025, a protection covering all five elements together. The site reads as a fortified agricultural estate rather than a single isolated residence.
