Château de Montchoisy stands in Chezelle (Allier), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château de Montchoisy stands to the west of the village of Chezelle, in the Allier department, between Bellenaves and Chantelle. This rectangular manor house, topped with a four-sided tile roof and flanked by outbuildings, was substantially reworked in the early seventeenth century by Philibert du Buysson, who gave it its present late Renaissance character. A fireplace from that period survives in the salon, along with a square-rimmed covered well in the courtyard. The estate belonged to the du Buysson family from the late fifteenth century, later passing to the Dutour de Salvert family and then to successive owners who are currently restoring it.
