Château de la famille de Chambray, Renaissance château in Mesnils-sur-Iton, France.

The Château de la famille de Chambray is a Renaissance château in Mesnils-sur-Iton whose construction evolved across multiple centuries. It combines 15th-century features including a chapel and entrance gate with later additions from the 18th century.

The Chambray line descends from Simon I de Chambray, a younger son of Richard II de La Ferté-Fresnel, who died before 1210; his manors were rebuilt by later generations. Gabriel de Chambray, gentleman of Henri III's chamber, built the main block, which Jacques de Chambray, known as le Grand Veneur, heavily restored and enlarged in 1881. In 1944 the last marquis, Simon III, gave the estate to the State to house an agricultural school in memory of his son Édouard, killed in Belgium on 13 May 1940.

The name Chambray comes from a cadet branch of the barons of La Ferté-Fresnel; Simon Ier de Chambray, dead before 1210, founded the line. In 1944 the last marquis, Simon III, gave the estate to the State so that an agricultural lycée could be created there in memory of his son Édouard, killed in Belgium on 13 May 1940.

The château stands in the commune of Gouville, within Mesnils-sur-Iton, in the Eure department. The park, outbuildings and the lime-tree avenue are classified natural sites, and the avenue has been protected by decree since 20 August 1941. The estate now houses an agricultural lycée, so visitors should keep to the grounds and avoid teaching areas.

The 1971 listing covers not only the château but also its chapel, postern gate, three towers of the old enclosure and the chartreuse in the park. The Ermitage de Chambray was restored between 1993 and 2001 by volunteers of the Chantiers histoire et architecture médiévales association.
