Château de Paroy stands in Paroy (Doubs), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Paroy was built in the second half of the eighteenth century on the site of a former seigneury held by the princes of Orange. The main residence is flanked by outbuildings arranged symmetrically around a courtyard. The château preserves evidence of its long occupation: a seventeenth-century cellar survives within the communs, and interior spaces were updated in the early nineteenth century. A conservatory and walled park enclose the property.
