Château de la Motte-Josserand stands in Perroy (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Nièvre department, a few kilometres from Perroy, the château de la Motte-Josserand stands near the Nohain river, the remnant of a medieval stronghold reworked at the end of the 14th century. Its square layout, flanked by four massive round towers, and its gate tower that once carried a drawbridge, reveal its original defensive purpose. The whole structure has kept the look of a genuine fortified castle, uncommon in this area.
