Château de Lachal stands in Valfleury (Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Valfleury, in the Loire department, the château de Lachal is a neoclassical residence built in the 1780s for a Lyon merchant who had risen to local gentry. Flanked by four towers topped with glazed tiles, it retains a chapel, a dovecote, an orangery and an enclosed garden, now a private property used mainly for hosting events rather than open for standard sightseeing. The estate has kept its original design over two centuries, apart from a refacing of the walls around 1930.
