Château de Santenay stands in Santenay (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At the northern edge of the village of Santenay, on Burgundy's Route des Grands Crus, this château combines the remains of a medieval stronghold with an 18th century residential wing. Occupied since the 9th century, the site retains its 12th century keep and a dry moat cut into the rock, crossed by a fixed bridge. The building forms a U shape around a large square tower flanked by a turret, all roofed in Burgundian glazed tiles. The surrounding 90 hectare vineyard, planted with chardonnay and pinot noir, is part of the estate.
