Château de Chamoux is a historical monument located in the commune of Chamoux-sur-Gelon, Savoie, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Although its exact construction period is not specified in the available sources, it is recognized for its remarkable architectural elements, including facades, roofs and decorated ceilings. This castle is part of the local heritage and was partially protected by a decree in 1977, demonstrating its historical and artistic importance.

The castle includes protected elements such as the facades and roofs of the main building, as well as two towers surrounding the entrance. Inside, some ceilings are particularly notable, such as those in the lobby, large living room and dining room on the ground floor, decorated with caissons, as well as an Italian ceiling in a bedroom on the first floor. These architectural details suggest a variety of stylistic influences and a desire for beautification characteristic of aristocratic or bourgeois residences of past times.
