Château des Échardons stands in Agonges (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château des Échardons stands in Agonges, in the Allier department, arranged around a courtyard flanked on three sides by 18th-century farm buildings. Its most notable feature is the entrance gateway, next to a round tower topped with a lantern dome, a remnant of an earlier structure predating the 1792 rebuilding. A park crossed by a tree-lined path, laid out in the early 20th century, completes the grounds. It stands as a representative example of rural architecture from that period in the Bourbonnais region.
