Château de Nazelles stands in Nazelles-Négron (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: 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built in the early 16th century on a hillside above the village, the château de Nazelles owes its present form to Thomas Bohier, also responsible for Chenonceau, and his wife Katherine Briçonnet. The manor house, altered in the 18th century with a vaulted passage and a square pavilion added, still shows Renaissance features and the wooden balcony of a former outside staircase. Now a privately run guesthouse, the property is best appreciated from the outside, for its architecture and its setting above the Loire valley.
