Château de Septeuil stands in Septeuil (Yvelines), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Set in the town of Septeuil, in the Yvelines, this eighteenth century château is built around a courtyard of honour and a main block flanked by two pavilions, one of them a rotunda once used for music. The estate still has its wooded park, whose gardens predate the château itself and are said to have been laid out by Le Nôtre. Over the centuries it passed from a grandson of Louis XIV to a family of royal advisers, before becoming a care home in the twentieth century.
