Château de Renay stands in Renay (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Renay, in the Loir-et-Cher, this château combines a defensive tower from the 15th century with later buildings dating from the 17th to the 19th century, gathered over time around a square layout. The tower, its windows reworked in Renaissance style, recalls a chain of watchtowers that once lined the banks of the Loir river. The estate passed through a long succession of owners, from medieval lords to a 20th century art collector, before falling into disrepair.
