Château de Frateaux stands in Neuvic (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

On the western edge of Neuvic, in the Dordogne, the château de Frateaux brings together buildings spanning the 12th to the 18th century: a partly ruined manor house, a square 15th-century tower, old fireplaces and an 18th-century gateway. The site also holds the remains of a medieval chapel and fragments of a fortified wall. Now occupied by potters who maintain and animate it, it can be visited as much as a place of craft as a historical ruin.
