Château de Vervant stands in Vervant (Charente-Maritime), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Vervant Castle combines two construction periods: a crenellated 16th-century tower, dated 1593, remains among the outbuildings, while the main building dates from the 18th century. This vast residence features a central body flanked by two massive pavilions of two stories, decorated with balustrades and fine Louis XV ironwork. The whole, listed as a historic monument, reflects the evolution of architectural styles between the Renaissance and Enlightenment.
