Château de Chaugy stands in Bessay-sur-Allier (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Chaugy stands in Bessay-sur-Allier, in the Allier department, on the site of a former feudal mound. Only the gatehouse remains from the 17th century building, the rest of the estate having been reworked in the late 18th century with a new residential wing. The whole forms a rectangular courtyard lined with barns and a dovecote, in an architectural style typical of the Bourbonnais, combining wood, tile and brick. The Polish prince Adam Czartoryski lived there in the mid 19th century and brought in furnishings and decor that the estate still retains traces of.
