Château de Cousance stands in Cousance (Jura), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the second quarter of the eighteenth century, Cousance Castle reflects the residential architecture of the Jura region during the Age of Enlightenment. A stone structure organized according to classical principles, it retains its original main building and outbuildings. The interior displays careful Louis XV decoration: paneled reception rooms, a grand staircase with ornate railings, elegantly proportioned fireplaces, and notably a painted portrait of Joseph François Damas preserved in the blue bedroom.
