Château de Virazeil stands in Virazeil (Lot-et-Garonne), 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). No visits are on record for this building.

The château de Virazeil stands on a low hill above the Trec valley in the Lot-et-Garonne department. What is visible from the road dates from the 18th century, a plain residence built for a president of the Bordeaux parliament, while the courtyard of honour still holds remains of the original 16th century house, including a staircase tower and a doorway carved with an ogee arch and curled leaf motifs. A small chapel and a cloister with Romanesque openings complete the site, which today houses an organisation supporting disabled people.
