Château du Feillet stands in Le Mage (Orne), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Built in the seventeenth century at Le Mage, Château du Feillet displays the classical composition of its period: a central block flanked by two sturdy pavilions. Brick and white stone facades, triangular pediments bearing heraldic remnants define its architecture. Only the principal building survives today, the lateral wings having been demolished in the nineteenth century. A chapel constructed in matching style remains attached to the château.
