Château de Monbouan stands in Moulins (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in 1771 to plans by the Rennes architect Besnard, the château de Monbouan stands in Moulins, Ille-et-Vilaine, surrounded by water filled moats and extensive grounds. Its main building, flanked by a chapel and a library housed in small pavilions, still bears the traces of several 19th century alterations. Around the main house are outbuildings, a dovecote, a wash house and a canal, remnants of a farming estate that has kept its coherence for over two centuries.
