Château de Saint-Brice stands in Saint-Brice (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

On the right bank of the Charente river, a few kilometres from Cognac, this château dating from the 14th and 16th centuries is best seen from the water or the roadside, as it remains a private residence. Visitors are drawn to the main building with its corner turrets topped with pepper-pot roofs, and to the park laid out by landscape designer Édouard André, which still holds a centuries-old box hedge maze. The estate also appeared on screen, used as a filming location for L'Éducation sentimentale and Benjamin ou les Mémoires d'un puceau.
