Château de Turcey stands in Turcey (Côte-d'Or), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, first half of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Turcey is a Côte-d'Or fortress whose medieval origins date back to the 12th century. Early 17th-century renovations by Étienne de Loisie brought it its painted chapel decoration, a feature of note from that building campaign. The estate fell into disuse at the end of the 18th century before becoming part of an agricultural complex, a function it has retained. Protected as a historical monument, it reflects the successive transformations of a provincial noble residence.
