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

The château de Salans stands on the banks of the Doubs river in the Jura, on the site of a 17th century manor built by the Laborey family. Bought after the Revolution by the Desbiez de Saint-Juan family, it owes its present appearance to Baron Charles de Saint-Juan, who added large windows, two wings, and gave the building a neoclassical Directoire style facade. The estate also includes a three hectare English style park laid out in the 19th century, with a stream, a pond, and period gateways.

What to know

The château and its park have been listed as a historic monument since an order dated 23 July 1992.
The listing covers the facades and roofs of the main building and outbuildings, the main interior staircase, the courtyard fountain, and the park with its stream, pond and east and north gateways.
A 17th century tower survives at the rear of the building, a remnant of the original Laborey manor.
The park, laid out in English landscape style in the 19th century, leads through a former gateway down to the banks of the Doubs.
