Château de Peyraud stands in Peyraud (Ardèche), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Overlooking the Rhône valley from the Ardèche foothills, the château de Peyraud carries the marks of a turbulent past, first recorded in the 11th century and rebuilt in the 18th century after being destroyed during the Wars of Religion. Having passed from local lords to the Roussillon and then the Fay families, it was reconstructed in a Louis XVIII style under Jeanne-Marie de Fay. Since 2025 its rooms have housed the furniture and decorative object collection of the ATENA antiques gallery.
