Château de Ladhuie stands in Montayral (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

On the banks of the Lot river, at Montayral, the château de Ladhuie recalls a medieval tower built to oversee a river weir and collect tolls from passing boats. The tower, fought over during the Hundred Years' War, was replaced at the end of the 15th century by a manor house, then by a second wing added around 1600. Visitors can see twin romanesque windows with carved capitals, large rooms with 17th century fireplaces, and a spring that rises through the bare rock in the dining hall.
