Château de Thévalles stands in Chémeré-le-Roi (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Set on a rocky spur above the Erve valley at Chémeré-le-Roi, the château de Thévalles retains two crenellated towers from the 15th century, remnants of an older fortified complex. The site saw several building phases between the 16th and 19th centuries, including a Gothic chapel added near the entrance. Around the main building, a landscaped park and traces of the former defensive moats remain.
