Château de Cheix stands in Neuville (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

This fortified manor in Puy-de-Dôme, situated in Neuville, retains the medieval layout of its construction: four corner towers connected by residential wings surrounding an interior courtyard. Successive occupants transformed it into a family residence, leaving behind 18th-century details such as beam ceilings, painted decoration and a Rococo salon. The south gallery features painted scenes drawn from Flemish printmaking traditions, illustrating moral and religious allegories.
