Château du Passage stands in Le Passage (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built in the 15th century as a fortified house in the Dauphiné region, the château du Passage gradually took on the look of a classical residence, remodelled in the 19th century by a general of the Empire. Visitors can see a hall, formal reception rooms and a chapel, along with traces of the original fortified house, set in a park with two-hundred-year-old trees overlooking the Bourbre valley and the Chartreuse massif. Still lived in by the same family, it opens to the public on an occasional basis.
