Château du Pont-de-Varenne stands in Louresse-Rochemenier (Maine-et-Loire), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Louresse-Rochemenier, in the Coteaux-de-Doué area, the Château du Pont-de-Varenne stands beside former moats fed by the Maliverne stream. Built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries, the ensemble combines a central pavilion flanked by corner towers with a chapel topped by a bell turret, dedicated to the Virgin and to Saint Suzanne. Successive alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries gave the building its present appearance, unified under a rendered facade that blends its different construction periods.
