Château de Sillé-le-Guillaume stands in Sillé-le-Guillaume (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Adult admission costs 4 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built in the 11th century on a hill overlooking the valley, next to the church, Sillé-le-Guillaume castle was the stronghold of the barons of Maine, fought over by the English and French during the Hundred Years' War. Its massive keep and three other towers reflect a defensive architecture reinforced in the 15th century, later softened to make it more livable. The site later served as a school until 1971, before passing into the hands of the town.
