The Château de la Chambre is a historic château located in the commune of Carquefou, in the Loire-Atlantique department of the Pays de la Loire region in western France, near the river Erdre.
Dating from the 16th century, the château was associated with the Marchis de la Chambre family. In the 19th century it belonged to M. Marchis de la Chambre, who served as mayor of Carquefou. It later passed to M. Binet, director of the well-known Nantes biscuit company LU (Lefèvre-Utile).
A chapel belonging to the estate (chapelle de la Chambre) was already reported in ruins in 1686. The property is noted for its setting along the Erdre and for a large chestnut tree on the grounds.
The château remains private property and is one of the lesser-documented historic residences of Carquefou, alongside better-known neighbouring estates such as the Château de la Seilleraye, the Château de Maubreuil and the Château de la Couronnerie.
