Château de la Boube stands in Chevagnes (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de la Boube, built in the first half of the seventeenth century, consists of a main residence surrounded by outbuildings that frame a courtyard. The site owes its distinction to its entrance portal, a Louis XIII structure that remains the most significant architectural testimony of the building. This gateway combines baroque elements, uncommon in the region, with a basket-handle arch, pilasters adorned with Ionic volutes, and a central niche housing a statue of Saint-Blaise.
