Château du Luart stands in Le Luart (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built between 1840 and 1848 for one of the sons of the Marquis de Luart, this historicist-style château stands within a broad landscaped park in the Sarthe. Its square silhouette flanked by four round towers topped with pointed roofs blends classical, neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance influences. The estate has remained in the hands of the same family for generations, which explains why public access is very restricted.

European Heritage Days offer the only opportunity to see the grounds, by invitation of the owner.
The surrounding landscaped park covers more than 45 hectares and includes trees notable for their size and age.
