Château de Gœulzin stands in Gœulzin (Nord), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century, third quarter of the 18th century, second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Gœulzin, near Douai, the remains of a château that grew out of a medieval fortified house stand on a terrace once ringed by moats fed by the Sensée river. Rebuilt in brick and stone in the early 17th century by the Count of Bucquoy, it kept the sandstone base of the earlier medieval building, pierced with arrow and gun loops. The site also includes an 18th century tower combining an ice house and a dovecote, a building left without purpose once industrial ice was invented. Looted and abandoned after the First World War, the whole complex is now visited as ruins.
