Château de Montfleury stands in Laps (Puy-de-Dôme), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built in the 16th century and substantially reworked in the 18th, the château of Montfleury at Laps forms an L shaped plan with a round tower at each end, set in the southern Limagne region shaped by architectural influences from the south of France. The pale arkose stone and the rounded eaves of the turrets give the building an Italian looking character, which its owners like to call Auvergne's own Tuscany. On the ground floor, wide vaulted rooms open onto a large fireplace in the north wing, while the upper rooms keep their French style ceilings, fireplaces and rustic Louis XV panelling. The estate remains privately owned, and its park can be walked through during the season.
