Château de Lassay stands in Lassay-les-Châteaux (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

A fortress from the 15th century rises in Lassay-les-Châteaux, a commune of the Mayenne department, its irregular octagonal plan flanked by eight towers, two of which frame the entrance gatehouse. Jean II de Vendôme rebuilt it in a single year starting in 1458, after royal order had it demolished in 1422, and cannon embrasures near the moat still testify to its defensive purpose. Wall paintings inside the adjoining chapel benefit from a separate listing distinct from the rest of the monument, which has remained in the hands of one family since 1823.
