Château de Buzancy stands in Buzancy (Ardennes), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Buzancy castle no longer stands as such: it burned down and was completely destroyed in the early 19th century. What remains to be seen today are the outbuildings, an entrance pavilion, cattle sheds and stables arranged in a semicircle inspired by the stables at Versailles, along with a large ornamental pool known as the Samaritaine, the last trace of the former park. The site still recalls an estate once likened to a small country Versailles.
