Château des Ifs stands in Montsûrs (Mayenne), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Montsûrs, in the Mayenne department, the château des Ifs survives only in fragments: a chapel and a gateway from a manor house built in the early 16th century. The Saint-Ouie chapel, the one element preserved intact, stands out for its carved entrance door and its liturgical lavabo, along with 17th century wall paintings that have resurfaced beneath layers of whitewash. The place suits visitors drawn to quiet remnants rather than grand architectural ensembles.
