Château de Montigny stands in Villeneuve-en-Perseigne (Sarthe), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, 20th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the small commune of Villeneuve-en-Perseigne, the Château de Montigny presents its central pavilion flanked by two symmetrical wings, set within grounds that have changed little since the 18th century. Built around 1730 for the Boullemer family, the estate includes a disused medieval church, a dovecote, moats and the layout of formal gardens that still survives. The property also retains the memory of a trotting-horse stud created in the late 19th century, its horseshoe-shaped stables still standing.

- The château has been a listed historic monument since 2016, with protection covering the façades, roofs, entrance hall, the former church, the dovecote and the site of the old gardens.
