Château de Sainte-Feyre stands in Sainte-Feyre (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built in the mid-18th century on the site of an earlier fortress, Sainte-Feyre Castle stands as a record of two periods in French architecture. The Dauphin, the future Louis XI, stayed there in 1439. The present building organizes its facades and roofs around a courtyard framed by pavilions and service buildings. Inside, barrel-vaulted chambers from the original structure survive, including a late Gothic fireplace, while 18th-century stuccowork and fireplaces mark the transformation into a residential estate.
