Château de la Grillière stands in Monétay-sur-Allier (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the village of Monétay-sur-Allier, the Château de la Grillière stands as an eclectic red-brick building dating from the very end of the 19th century, designed in an Anglicised style then fashionable. It replaced an older manor house and owes its appearance to two architects, father and son, who worked closely with the patron who commissioned it after returning from a trip to Scotland. Inside, visitors notice a pink marble staircase, salons lined with Corinthian columns, and woodwork brought from another château, complete with its painted scenes.
