Château de Bury stands in Valencisse (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire 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.

At the edge of the Blois forest, in the commune of Valencisse, the ruins of the Château de Bury recall the ambition of a Renaissance residence built for Florimont Robertet, treasurer to the king, whose architecture once rivalled that of Chambord. The site, occupied since the 11th century by a fortress guarding the county of Blois, retains only fragments after the demolition carried out in the 17th century, when the château was used as a stone quarry. Visitors today come to see what remains of a building once compared to the grandest constructions of the Loire Valley.
