The Château de Chavaniac, also called Chateau Lafayette, is a fortified manor house in Chavaniac-Lafayette, Haute-Loire, in the Auvergne region of France. Built in the 14th century and flanked by two towers of black stone, it was the birthplace of General Lafayette in 1757. In 1916 a group of philanthropists led by John C. Moffat bought it, and after the war it was renovated to preserve Lafayette-related documents and objects. It is now a museum open to the public.
