Château de Sarron stands in Fourneaux (Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Fourneaux, in the Loire department, the château de Sarron was long known as Les Forges, a name it kept until a family who lived there for more than three centuries gave it its present one. The current buildings, built around an older core, form an inner courtyard lined with arcades and a colonnaded gallery, set around a square keep flanked by towers. Around the house survive a terrace, a kitchen garden, a pond known as the canal and a lower pond, remnants of an estate that has changed little since the 19th century.
