Château de Druy-Parigny stands in Druy-Parigny (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Druy-Parigny, in the Nièvre department, this castle bears witness above all to a turbulent past: burned down three times between the 14th and the 20th century, it retains from its defensive origins only the towers that once flanked the entrance gate. Visitors can still make out gun loops and remnants of the fortified layout, along with a chapel decorated with old wall paintings. The property is privately owned and is of interest mainly for its military architecture rather than a museum-style visit.
