Château de Genillé stands in Genillé (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century, first half of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing in the Indrois valley near Genillé, this manor house dating from the late 15th century has retained the look of a fortified residence, having stood empty for long stretches under its various owners. Two round towers frame the west facade, while an octagonal stair turret marks the east side, flanked by corner turrets. Traces of the former moat, now filled in, are still visible, along with an old dovecote once holding several hundred nesting holes, a mark of the seigneury's former standing.
