Château de Gizeux stands in Gizeux (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château de Gizeux stands on the edge of the former Anjou province, within the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park, its 250-metre façade making it one of the longest buildings in the area. Built from the 15th century onward on the remains of a 14th-century fortress, it combines a medieval main house with wings reworked during the Renaissance and again in the 18th century. Inside are two painted galleries, one depicting France's great royal castles, and a nearby church holds the sculpted tombs of the du Bellay family.
