Château de Bagnolet stands in 20e arrondissement de Paris (Paris), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Of the château de Bagnolet, once the favourite residence of the Duchess of Orléans in the 18th century, only one trace remains: the Ermitage pavilion, the last Parisian folly built in the Régence style. It now stands in the garden of the Hospice-Debrousse, in the 20th arrondissement, far removed from the scale of the former estate and its gardens laid out by a great-nephew of Le Nôtre, long since gone.
