Château de Vayres stands in Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Vayres castle stands in Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux, in the Vienne department, on the foundations of a fortress built from 1392 onward. Two towers flanking the main building still recall this medieval origin, before a 16th century reconstruction and 17th century decorative work gave the estate its present appearance. The grounds also include gardens and a dovecote dated 1656, a reminder of the estate's agricultural past.
