Château de Saint-Remy stands in Saint-Rémy-en-Comté (Haute-Saône), 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 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Saint-Rémy-en-Comté, in the Haute-Saône region, this classical château built in the 1760s stands on a promontory overlooking the surrounding plain. Erected for countess Jeanne-Octavie de Vaudrey using stones from the village's former medieval fortress, it retains from that period a central vestibule and two turning staircases with wrought-iron railings. The building has gone through very different uses over time, a religious school, a military hospital, then a psychiatric institution, a role it still holds today.

The site sits on a promontory overlooking the plain, meaning a slight uphill approach from the village.
