Château de Muides-sur-Loire stands in Muides-sur-Loire (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de Muides-sur-Loire, also known as Château du Marais, stands at the northern edge of the Chambord estate. Built during the reign of Henri II, it passed through several noble families, from the Beauvilliers to the Clermont-Tonnerres, before becoming private property in 1956 within the grounds of a campsite. Its entrance keep, weakened over time, was torn down in 1958, which explains the altered outline visitors see today.
