Château de Muflet stands in Saint-Aubin-du-Plain (Deux-Sèvres), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France.

The château de Muflet stands in Saint-Aubin-du-Plain, in the Deux-Sèvres, on land tied to a lordship recorded as early as 1378. Its 14th century keep, pierced with arrow slits and fitted with a spiral staircase, overlooks a group of buildings reworked during the Renaissance and the early 17th century. Visitors can still see a main house equipped with gun loops, a vaulted 15th century oratory, and the remains of a square enclosure with a corner tower and a spired gatehouse, the whole surrounded by moats.
