法式城堡（法语：Château）是法国庄园领主的宅邸，或是绅士、贵族的住所，不一定拥有防御设施。许多法式城堡都位在卢瓦尔河流域，例如昂布瓦斯城堡、香波尔城堡、薇雍德希堡、丽芙城堡和舍农索城堡。

Schloss (German pronunciation:[ˈʃlɔs]; pl. Schlösser), formerly written Schloß, is the German term for a building similar to a château, palace, or manor house; or what in the British Isles would be known as a stately home.

Similarly, in the Scandinavian languages, related Germanic languages, the cognate word slot/slott is normally used for what in English could be either a palace or a castle (instead of words in rarer use such as palats/palæ or kastell or borg).
