Château de Sours stands in Sours (Eure-et-Loir), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Sours Castle stands in Eure-et-Loir on 13th-century vaults, though the main building seen today was erected in 1653 for Philippe de Montigny as a hunting and fishing lodge. Local tradition links the site to the negotiations of the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, though this remains unconfirmed. Visitors come mainly for the 17th-century façades and roofs, and for the salon with its notable woodwork added in the late 18th century. The estate also includes 17 hectares of parkland, split between a public and a private section, plus a working farm.
