Château de la Chaise stands in La Chaise (Aube), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Château de la Chaise is a hunting lodge built between 1860 and 1864 by the Du Pont de Compiègne family during the Second Empire. Constructed in two stages, it combines the timber framework of its central core with the brick and plaster detailing of its lateral wings. The ensemble reflects nineteenth-century taste for picturesque architecture, blending French and foreign building traditions. Inside, the large wainscoted hall and its wooden staircase bear witness to this distinctive approach.
