Château de Périgères stands in Mons (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the 17th century on the site of an ancient feudal holding documented since the 13th century, Château de Périgères in Mons evolved from a fortified house into a stone residence with multiple towers and a chapel. An 18th-century fire reshaped its structure, yet the central 17th-century wing survives, along with its gatehouse crowned by an imperial roof, dated 1686. Interior decoration bears primarily 19th-century marks, except for older coffered and beamed ceilings.

The building underwent major construction campaigns in 1582 and 1660, followed by significant damage in the 18th century.
Ancient coffered and beamed ceilings are the most notable interior ornaments among the building's decorative features.
