Château du Max stands in Le Theil (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Southwest of Le Theil, in the Allier department, the château du Max rises behind its moat with a fifteenth-century profile: a gatehouse, a stout round tower and adjoining residential wings. The site's origins go back to the thirteenth century, but its present form, including an untouched old roof frame, dates from the following century. Over time it passed through several families, from the Rollands to the Gaulmyn de Montgeorges, whose history includes some striking and troubled episodes.
