Château de Durtal stands in Montpont-en-Bresse (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de Durtal stands on a small rise near the Grand Bois Durtal, in the commune of Montpont-en-Bresse in Saône-et-Loire. Of the once-fortified medieval structure, protected by wide moats and a drawbridge, what remains is mainly a brick corner tower topped with machicolations, adjoining a later residential wing. Converted into a working farm over time, the property now belongs to private owners.
