Château de Bouzot stands in Boux-sous-Salmaise (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté 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.
In Boux-sous-Salmaise, tucked into the narrow valley of the Oze river, the château de Bouzot shows off its square towers topped with stone roofs around a courtyard closed by a gateway built in a baroque manner. Originally raised on a site already occupied in prehistoric times, the building passed through several centuries of Burgundian magistrates and officials, before the historical record falls silent after 1763. Visitors mostly take in this rectangular structure with its flanking pavilions from the outside, along with the square dovecote-gatehouse standing nearby.

What to know
- Only the facades, roofs and gateway of the former entrance pavilion are listed as historic monuments, since 1970.
- The château stands away from the village itself, between Boux and the hamlet of Bouzot, at the bottom of a valley.
- No visiting hours or admission fees are given, suggesting a private property without a fixed public schedule.
- The interest lies mainly in the exterior architecture: square towers, stone roofs, a monumental gateway and a dovecote.
