Château de Marval stands in Marval (Haute-Vienne), 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, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Marval castle stands in the Haute-Vienne department on the remains of a medieval residence, of which only the basement, the staircase and a few Renaissance elements survived the fire set by Calvinist troops in 1569. Most of the buildings seen today date from the 17th century reconstruction: a main wing flanked by two pavilions, roofed with steep flat tiles. Inside, visitors can see the so called guards' room with its painted and gilded coffered ceiling, as well as a carved door leading to the 16th century section. The old moats that once surrounded the building are still in place.
