Château de Marsay stands in Missé (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Marsay Castle, built in the early 1710s, preserves remnants of an older residence including its entrance gatehouse, corner towers, and dovecote.

The main residence, once accompanied by a northern wing now demolished, contains a stone staircase and a salon fireplace decorated with a painting attributed to Mignard.
