Château de Caulaincourt stands in Caulaincourt (Aisne), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century, second quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Caulaincourt, in the Aisne department, is not the original residence linked to the Marquis de Caulaincourt, ambassador of Napoleon I, but its 1930s reconstruction, built after the German army destroyed the historic building in 1917. Countess de Moustier commissioned Russian architect Beloborodoff to design a neo-classical building, drawing on both the palaces of Saint Petersburg and Palladio's style. The grounds, also laid out by the architect, combine lawns, avenues and vase-topped porticoes around the large pond and surrounding woods. The village cemetery also holds the circular brick mausoleum of Adrienne de Caulaincourt, built around 1876.
