Château de la Haichois stands in Mordelles (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Mordelles, in Ille-et-Vilaine, the château de la Haichois was built in 1888 on the site of a 17th-century manor, commissioned by Count Odon de Toulouse-Lautrec, uncle of the painter. Architect Ambroise Baudry gave it an asymmetrical layout, combining projecting pavilions, a polygonal bay and a round tower. Inside, carved wood panelling from the 17th century was salvaged from the earlier building, alongside a smoking room decorated in an orientalist style, a rare surviving example of Baudry's work as a colourist. The estate also includes a 17th-century chapel and dovecote, set within an English-style park.
