Château de Bidestroff stands in Bidestroff (Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing in Bidestroff, in the Moselle department, this 16th-century château is easy to spot thanks to its two slender round towers, their bases lined with defensive gun loops. Built in 1569, the estate carries a link to French industrial history: the son of its post-Revolution owner, Eugène Schneider, was born there in 1805. Only the facades, roofs and dovecote are listed as historic monuments.
