Château de Curraize stands in Précieux (Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Précieux, in the Loire department, the Château de Curraize stands on the site of a fortified house first recorded in the 12th century, traced back to a land grant of 1173. The building seen today owes its appearance to a rebuilding carried out in the last quarter of the 19th century by Emile Alamagny, a lace manufacturer from Saint-Chamond, who turned the medieval residence into a modern house. Notable features include a gallery on the south facade, a former chapel set above the entrance passage, and furnishings that have largely remained in place since that period. The estate, including its water system linked to an old mill, outbuildings and gardens, is listed as a historic monument.
