Château de Chauffailles, Medieval castle in Chauffailles, France.

Château de Chauffailles is a castle whose rectangular main building is flanked by two round towers of unequal size, the larger northeastern one dating to the 15th century. A long low building stands against the west facade, and a gravel courtyard, a stone bridge over the Botoret and a plane-tree avenue precede it.

Construction finished around 1400 when Jean d'Amanzé commissioned the work, and his family occupied it for eleven consecutive generations. This long period of continuous ownership shaped the building's development and preserved its medieval form.

The castle now serves as a gallery for temporary and permanent art displays featuring local painters and sculptors. These spaces also function as studios where regional artists create and present their work to visitors.

The castle is owned and managed by the local municipality and does not welcome regular drop-in visitors. Access is available during art exhibitions and workshops, so checking with local organizers before your visit is advisable.

The two round towers are of unequal size: the larger northeast one dates to the 15th century, while the rest of the château was completed around 1400 for Jean d'Amanzé. In 1882 the industrialist Casimir Dumoulin installed a weaving factory in the reworked outbuildings.
