Château de la Coindrie stands in Argentonnay (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

At Argentonnay, the château de la Coindrie stands on the site of a medieval stronghold destroyed by revolutionary troops in 1794. The present building, erected at the end of the 19th century for Octave Monnier on an almost square plan inspired by the French Renaissance, combines a square corner tower, a round tower, a triangular gable and moats inherited from the earlier castle. About a hundred metres away, a Second Empire farm building and a gatekeeper's lodge complete the grounds.
