Château de Chiloup stands in Saint-Martin-du-Mont (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

At Saint-Martin-du-Mont, in the Ain department, the château de Chiloup bears little resemblance to the medieval stronghold it once was: the four-towered fortress that stood here from the 14th century was pulled down in 1830 and replaced by the square house still standing today. Located a few kilometres southwest of the village, the site's main interest lies in its long line of noble owners, from the Chiloup family to the Durand de Chiloup who ordered its demolition and rebuilding.
