Château de Chevenon stands in Chevenon (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Chevenon Castle, constructed from the second half of the 14th century onwards, is a rectangular keep flanked by four towers that survives from the former medieval fortress. Its two round towers at the front and two square towers at the rear testify to its defensive architecture. The main facade, reinforced by two semi-circular turrets defending the entrance, probably marks a strengthening phase in the 16th century. A spiral staircase allowed circulation between the different floors of the building.
