Château de la Grange stands in Monts-de-Randon (Lozère), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Set within a domain planted with black pines in Monts-de-Randon, Lozère, the château de la Grange keeps a stone silhouette that has changed little since it was built at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. What strikes visitors first is the parapet walk with its machicolations and heavy granite merlons, followed by a diamond-pointed doorway typical of the Gévaudan region under the Ancien Régime. Eight mullioned windows in pink sandstone break up an otherwise plain, massive façade. Inside, a painted vestibule is noted by heritage authorities for its quality.
