Château de Selore stands in Saint-Yan (Saône-et-Loire), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the plain of the Arconce river, the Château de Selore presents a classical facade with arched pediments and rusticated pilasters, flanked by two narrow wings. Still privately owned and inhabited by the descendants of its original builders, it is known for painted ceilings of Venetian style that were uncovered and restored following its listing as a historic monument. A fortified terrace overlooking the Selore stream, a formal French garden and two medieval towers complete the estate, largely built in the late 17th century.
