Château du Châtelier stands in Paulmy (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a circular limestone plateau in Indre-et-Loire, the ruins of the Châtelier castle occupy a naturally defended site a few kilometres from Grand-Pressigny. The twelfth-century enclosure and its ruined keep recall a stronghold built on the border between the kingdom of France and English territory. The main dwelling, altered in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, still bears traces of the turmoil of the Wars of Religion. Visitors find a mix of medieval fortification and farm buildings, a legacy of the site's long agricultural use.
