Château de Mazeau stands in Peyrat-la-Nonière (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Château du Mazeau stands in Peyrat-la-Nonière, in the Creuse department, beside the Voueize river, which still powers its old watermill. Built in the 16th century, the main building features a doorway crowned with an ogee arch, while the north wing includes a stair tower topped by a covered gallery decorated with terracotta motifs. In the courtyard, the former site of a demolished chapel and the ruins of a round tower pulled down in the late 19th century bear witness to the building's history.
