Château de Montmoyen stands in Montmoyen (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In the heart of the village of Montmoyen, in the Côte-d'Or, stands a château with feudal origins dating back to the 12th century, largely rebuilt in the 17th century in a classical style. Its main building, flanked by two wings forming a U shape, faces a park whose design is attributed to André Le Nôtre. A private property, it can only be seen today from the outside, near the neighbouring church.
