Château de Nobles stands in La Chapelle-sous-Brancion (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In La Chapelle-sous-Brancion, in Saône-et-Loire, the château de Nobles stands on a hillside, its main building flanked by two round towers with conical roofs. The property remains privately owned and is not open to visitors, but its architecture can be admired from outside, combining medieval defensive features with Renaissance details such as the round-arched doorway leading to a spiral staircase. The surrounding farm buildings enclosed within a fortified courtyard reflect centuries of ownership by noble families from the Mâcon region.
