Château des Tourelles stands in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin (Loiret), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château des Tourelles, sometimes called Château de Bellevue, stands at La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, along the old Loire towpath west of Orléans. Built in 1869 in a neo-Renaissance style, it is marked by two turrets flanking its north and south sides. The grounds once held a Gallo-Roman necropolis uncovered in 1862, and later a Gothic-style manor before the present building rose in its place. Now reduced to a one-hectare park after the site was divided up in the twentieth century, the estate passed through several owning families and served as a German military post during the Occupation.
