Château d'Arlay stands in Arlay (Jura), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built at the foot of the ruins of a medieval stronghold, the château d'Arlay was raised in the late 18th century by the Countess of Lauragais on the site of a former convent. Its eight-hectare park lies within the old fortress walls and includes a botanical garden devoted to games, recognised as a Jardin remarquable. The estate, still home to the same family's descendants, keeps a Jura vineyard it has worked for generations.
