Château de Varaignes stands in Varaignes (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing on the village square of Varaignes in the Dordogne, this 16th-century castle combines defence and elegance: its western façade carries towers with battlements and machicolations, while the courtyard side displays a Renaissance front. A corbelled turret marks the corner facing the square, and a second, smaller one is tucked into the roof of the main tower. The building now hosts rooms rented out for meetings and private events, in a village known for weaving and the charentaise slipper.
