Château du Solier stands in Saint-Hilaire-de-Lavit (Lozère), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 16th century, first half of the 18th century).

In the Cévennes hills of Lozère, the château du Solier stands above Saint-Hilaire-de-Lavit, its keep and two storeys built in the early 16th century as a fortified residence.

As a private property, it is mainly viewed from outside, alongside the neighbouring farm with its old silkworm house.
