Château de Chitry-les-Mines, Medieval castle in Chitry-les-Mines, France.

Château de Chitry-les-Mines stands in the commune of Chitry-les-Mines in the Nièvre. Its long light-grey stone facade rises three storeys, with a tall conical-roofed tower at the left end and a shorter conical-roofed tower at the right. The steep brown-grey roof is pierced by stone dormers and chimneys, a lower wing extends to the far left, and a white wooden fence runs along the base.

The castle is listed as a monument historique: the château itself was inscribed on 12 March 1942. On 11 December 1987 the door of the former chapel, in the north-east corner of the courtyard, and the Sibyls gallery in the west wing were classified, while the terrace and retaining wall were inscribed the same day. The source gives no construction date or founder.

The west wing holds the Galerie des Sybilles, classified as a monument historique on 11 December 1987 together with the door of the former chapel in the north-east corner of the courtyard. The gallery's name refers to the Sibyls, the prophetesses of classical antiquity. The castle itself was inscribed on 12 March 1942.

The castle stands in the commune of Chitry-les-Mines in the Nièvre.
