Château de Corcelle stands in Châtenoy-le-Royal (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Corcelle, built in 1738 in the hamlet of the same name within the commune of Châtenoy-le-Royal, belongs to the category of country houses designed for leisure rather than defence. Its history spans several centuries of Burgundian families, from the Viard de la Verchère to the Gauthier de la Tournelle, before a nineteenth-century chapter tied to the Parisian theatre world. The park still holds traces of a much older past, since a Roman milestone was unearthed there.
