Château de Merville stands in Merville (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Some twenty kilometres from Toulouse, the château de Merville displays a long pink-brick façade raised in the mid-18th century to the design of its owner, the marquis de Chalvet-Rochemonteix. Inside, a Chinese-style salon painted by Gilles Pin in 1754 and old tapestries survive, while the surrounding park, laid out on Le Nôtre's principles, holds one of the largest box-hedge mazes in Europe. The estate, château, terrace, park and 18th-century ice house, is a listed historic monument.
