Château de La Houssaye stands in La Houssaye-en-Brie (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Once a medieval fortified house that evolved over the centuries into a pleasure residence, the château de La Houssaye stands in La Houssaye-en-Brie, in Seine-et-Marne. Its park and round towers reflect a long history, shaped by General Augereau and later by the restoration undertaken by an industrialist from 1940 onwards. The place lived through both world wars, sheltering Spanish exiles at one point and a German garrison at another, before later hosting artists after the war.
