Château de Parpacé stands in Baugé-en-Anjou (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Parpacé castle combines a medieval keep with a 16th-century residential complex. The keep, rectangular in plan, dates from the 11th or 12th centuries and preserves its original structure despite openings and vaults added in the late 16th century. The adjoining castle, partially restored in the 19th century, retains its 16th and 17th-century features, notably its large kitchens. The apartments of the Count of Galembert display painted decoration created between 1875 and 1885.
