Château de Montjeu stands in Broye (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Standing on the hillside above Autun, the château de Montjeu is a residence from the early seventeenth century, begun in 1606 for president Jeannin and later extended by his descendants. The main building, flanked by four square pavilions, together with the imposing outbuildings and the formal French gardens laid out in the same century, form an ensemble that has remained in private hands. Its vast wooded park, ponds and long garden vistas over the surrounding valley make it a notable feature of the Burgundian landscape, though access to the site is restricted.
