Château de Verneuil stands in Verneuil (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing on a hillside above the village, the Verneuil castle keeps the look of a 14th century stronghold, strengthened a century later with four corner towers. Original defensive features such as machicolations, arrow slits and gun loops are still visible alongside Renaissance windows cut into the same walls at a later date. Behind the main building, a farm and an old dovecote recall the outer courtyard that once belonged to the estate.
