Château de Quincize stands in Blismes (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Blismes, in the Nièvre department, the château de Quincize stands at the end of a long straight avenue, its main building flanked by two round towers. Reshaped in the mid seventeenth century and later extended after 1759 by a wealthy timber merchant, the estate combines a classical residence with extensive outbuildings, terraced gardens and an orangery. The grounds are notable for their coherent layout, including formal parterres, a terraced kitchen garden and a period hydraulic system.
