Château de Chenon stands in Chenon (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Overlooking the Charente river, the château de Chenon presents a fifteenth century main building flanked by two round towers, one topped with a pepper pot roof, the other truncated and apparently older still. A polygonal turret housing a spiral staircase punctuates the courtyard facade, while an adjoining wing retains mullioned windows dating from the medieval period. The estate stayed in the hands of the Dexmier family from the fifteenth century until the mid twentieth, and its Romanesque chapel now serves as the parish church.
