Château de la Vrillière stands in Divatte-sur-Loire (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire 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 Vrillière in Divatte-sur-Loire is an early 17th-century residence built upon the foundations of a late 15th-century dwelling. Its architecture centres on a rectangular courtyard enclosed by structures and accessed through a classical gateway. A circular dovecote stands separately on the property; while its stone roof has been lost, the earthenware pigeon holes remain intact.
