Château de Montreuil-en-Touraine stands in Montreuil-en-Touraine (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Montreuil-en-Touraine, this fifteenth-century manor still looks like the fortified house it once was, surrounded by moats that are partly still filled with water. Its history is one of neglect and rescue: used as a barn for over a century, its roof collapsed in the winter of 1980-1981, before a local association began gradually restoring it from 1990 onward. Visitors can see a facade reworked over time, with a blocked Gothic doorway next to a monumental entrance added around 1600, and a vaulted cellar beneath the building.
