Château de Romenay stands in Diennes-Aubigny (Nièvre), 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 Diennes-Aubigny, in the Nièvre department, the château de Romenay stands halfway up a hillside overlooking the Andarge valley. The place is tied to the memory of Guy Coquille, a 16th-century jurist and historian of the Nivernais region, who lived there. Visitors come mainly for the elaborate water system: cascading retention basins, a moat, and a 100-metre canal closed off by a nymphaeum. To the east, remnants of an 18th-century garden survive, including box hedges once shaped into a maze.
