Château de l'Herbaudière stands in Saivres (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century).

The château de l'Herbaudière stands at Saivres, in the Deux-Sèvres department, built around a closed courtyard lined by the main house and three ranges of outbuildings. Erected at the very end of the 16th century for Philippe de Neuport, it still has two towers with pepper-pot roofs, a straight flight staircase and monumental fireplaces. Inside, the salon holds a 19th century panoramic wallpaper depicting hunting scenes, an unusual feature for a house of this period.
