Château de Fournils stands in Saint-Laurent-des-Hommes (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Fournils stands in Saint-Laurent-des-Hommes, in the Dordogne, on an estate that also extends into the neighbouring commune of Beaupouyet. Built between 1858 and 1860 by architect Henri Duphot for Félix Piston d'Eaubonne, it displays a neo-Renaissance style marked by corbelled turrets and cross-mullioned windows. A moat surrounds the building, whose façades bear sculpted ornamentation, while the outbuildings gather former stables, kennels and workshops around an extensive park.
