Château de Grancey stands in Grancey-le-Château-Neuvelle (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Grancey Castle represents layers of history: its medieval core dates from the 11th century with fortifications reinforced in the 13th and 15th centuries, while the visible structure was rebuilt in the early 18th century. The site preserves traces of this succession, including fireplaces from the earlier castle visible in the great hall. A companion collegiate church, Saint-Jean l'Evangéliste, was founded in 1367 and underwent 19th-century modifications with a neo-gothic porch and stained glass windows from 1880. Fortifications, ramparts, towers and underground vaulted chambers, alongside historic gardens, form this classified ensemble.
