Château de Cornod stands in Cornod (Jura), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The Cornod castle has occupied a Jura valley site since the Middle Ages. Its present appearance dates from 1876, when architects Henri Despierre and Henri Feuga transformed the medieval dwelling into a neo-Gothic residence flanked by two corner towers. A square tower, connected by a gallery, dominates the complex. The interior preserves period decorative schemes and a monumental staircase typical of that era.
