Château d'Ollans stands in Ollans (Doubs), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century, fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

On the banks of the Ognon river, Ollans château displays an 18th century main building shaped in a U, flanked by round towers. The estate retains a coherent set of outbuildings erected at the end of the 19th century: an orangery, a beehive, a dovecote and a greenhouse, along with a garden adorned with statues of Diana and Apollo carved around 1740. Inside, the grand staircase with its wrought iron banister and painted wall decorations, together with a chapel featuring an altar and retable, reflect the refinement of successive owners. The poet Sully Prudhomme stayed here for many years, leaving a quatrain engraved on the beehive.
