Château de Lunel-Viel stands in Lunel-Viel (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Lunel-Viel stands out above the village and the surrounding plain thanks to a thirty-metre neo-medieval tower, a remnant of a building thoroughly reworked in the late 19th century. Its origins go back to the 12th century, but it was the lawyer Paul Manse who gave it its present appearance, adding a chapel with neo-Gothic decoration and an orangery built in 1876 within the grounds. The orangery, covered in scale-patterned slate and adorned with carved decoration, is the part listed as a historic monument.
