Château de Moléon stands in Nouan-le-Fuzelier (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Moléon Castle, built from the 15th century onward in Nouan-le-Fuzelier, reflects successive building campaigns that shaped its present form. From the medieval period, an octagonal tower and a wing with a round tower remain. The 17th century saw the addition of a new residential block with a corner pavilion, while the 19th century gave the building its final appearance through further expansions and modifications. Constructed in brick in the characteristic style of Sologne châteaux, the ensemble shows how each building phase has left its mark on the structure.
