Château de Montépilloy stands in Montépilloy (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Montépilloy, in the Oise department, a gutted 35-metre keep still dominates the plain and can be seen for miles around. These are the remains of a feudal stronghold built and altered between the 12th and 15th centuries, wrecked during the Hundred Years' War and never rebuilt. Visitors find an old surrounding wall, an early 13th-century gatehouse and an unfinished 'new castle', remnants of gothic military architecture rarely preserved in this state.
