Château d'Oyez stands in Saint-Simon (Cantal), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Simon, in the Cantal department, the château d'Oyez stands in the village of Bellac above the Jordanie valley. The present building, which followed an earlier feudal motte and a manor recorded as early as the 14th century, combines a round corner tower, an octagonal watch-turret and a chamfered turret whose doorway dates from the 16th century. The façades carry carved decoration around the windows, and the interior keeps decorative work considered unusual for the rural Haute-Auvergne.
