Château des Buhards stands in Chemillé-en-Anjou (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Château des Buhards stands at Chemillé-en-Anjou, above a valley leading to the Layon river. Built in the mid 19th century for René Montrieux, a slate quarry administrator and future mayor of Angers, it combines brick and slate in a layout inspired by grand 16th century residences. Its façade is notable for an abundance of carved decoration featuring hunting trophies, and the estate still includes a chapel, a greenhouse and large ornamental pools.
