Château de Versas stands in Sanilhac (Ardèche), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Sanilhac, in the Ardèche region, the château de Versas pairs an octagonal tower, the only part listed as a historic monument, with a Renaissance facade overlooking the valley from its hillside position. Two wings flank this tower, evidence of a building begun in the 16th century and substantially reworked between 1594 and 1603 by Françoise de Bernard and her husband. The estate stayed for centuries within a single family line, the Montbrisons and then the Bernards, before passing to new owners in the 18th century. A 19th-century dovecote now completes the grouping.
