Château de la Motte Feuilly stands in La Motte-Feuilly (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de la Motte Feuilly stands in the village of the same name in the Indre department, at the end of a park laid out in the nineteenth century. Its towers, dated to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, frame a chapel built in the early sixteenth century by Charlotte d'Albret, widow of Cesare Borgia and the best known among the many families who owned the estate over time. Still a private residence, it bears the marks of eight centuries of transfers by marriage, inheritance or sale, and appears never to have truly served a defensive purpose.
