Château de Fleyriat stands in Viriat (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century, second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Fleyriat stands in Viriat, in the Ain department, within an agricultural estate older than the house itself. Built in 1867 for a descendant of the baron de Bohan, it bears the mark of architect Édouard Corroyer, a pupil of Viollet-le-Duc, who designed both the neo-Renaissance façades and the interior decor. The surrounding landscape park, created by landscaper Derussy, makes use of the terrain and water, including a small island reached by a footbridge. Visitors come as much for the building as for this composed garden, along with its outbuildings and orangery.
