Château de Maisontiers stands in Maisontiers (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, 16th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Maisontiers, in the Deux-Sèvres, a late 15th century château still stands surrounded by its moat, whose widest stretch reaches forty metres. The grounds have kept a defensive character, with an enclosing wall flanked by two round towers, while the west wing, the oldest part, bears the mark of the renovations carried out by Claude de Montjehan at the close of the Middle Ages. Visitors can also see farm outbuildings, a bread oven, a sheepfold and a pigsty, along with stables added later in the 19th century.
