Château de Douzon stands in Étroussat (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Étroussat, in the Allier department, the Château de Douzon brings together two periods on a single site: the square keep with its lookout turret from a 14th century fortress, and the 18th century manor built after a fire in 1723. The architect Clément designed this later house, with its wings and Mansard roofs, for the du Buysson family. Three rooms still show interior decoration left unfinished since the 18th century: the study bedroom, the dining room and the grand salon.
