Château de la Cour stands in Contigny (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de la Cour stands at Contigny, in the Allier department, against the Billonière hill, apart from the village centre. Built in the second half of the 18th century by the Imbert de Ballore family on the site of a vanished medieval castle, it features a main block flanked by short wings, a balustraded gallery added in the 19th century, and a broken pediment bearing the family's arms. The wooded park around it contains a neo-Renaissance chapel and artesian wells that were among the first drilled in the Bourbonnais region.
