Château de Châtain stands in Arfeuille-Châtain (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de Châtain stands in the commune of Arfeuille-Châtain, in the Creuse department, with origins going back to the 12th century and major alterations in the 15th and 18th centuries. Its past involves a succession of noble families, from the Montverts to the Galitzines, whose coats of arms remain in the nearby chapel that later became the parish church. The building now houses a residential facility for disabled adults run by APAJH, meaning it functions as an active care home rather than a tourist site.
