Château de Mosson stands in Mosson (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
In Mosson, in the Côte-d'Or, this medieval fortified house displays its thirteen-metre rectangular tower flanked by four round turrets, at the foot of the Ource valley. The site's origins go back at least to the 13th century, when the fief was held from the bishops of Langres. The building was altered in the 18th century with the addition of rectangular windows, and remains a private property closed to visitors. A monumental fireplace from the château, along with its commemorative plaque, is kept at the Musée du Pays châtillonnais.
