Château de Courceriers stands in Saint-Thomas-de-Courceriers (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 16th century, milieu 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Saint-Thomas-de-Courceriers, in the Mayenne department, this château survives only in fragments of a medieval complex reworked at the end of the 16th century, before a 1961 demolition left it in ruins. The site still holds a notable gateway with timberwork in the Philibert Delorme style, a monumental medieval-era doorway, a chapel, a residential wing and a tower now used as a guest room. Visitors come for the atmosphere of a partly ruined estate rather than a complete building.
