Château de Menou stands in Menou (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Built between 1672 and 1684 by architect Barthélémy Le Blanc, the château de Menou stands in the Nièvre department amid a park restored to its 17th century layout. The moat, once filled in and later reopened, surrounds a building that remained in the Blacas family throughout the 19th century and into the 20th. Two rooms stand out: the King's Chamber and the Cabinet of Metamorphoses, both keeping their original painted panelling.
