Château de Saint-Chaptes stands in Saint-Chaptes (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Chaptes, in the Gard department, this 13th century medieval castle still shows the marks of successive alterations, from the Middle Ages to the First Empire. Visitors mainly come for its two entrance towers, remnants of a 14th century rampart that was cut down by half during the Revolution before being rebuilt in the 19th century. The building was enlarged in 1623 to host Louis XIII and Richelieu, who were there preparing the Peace of Alais.
