Château des Évêques-du-Puy stands in Monistrol-sur-Loire (Haute-Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing on a hilltop above Monistrol-sur-Loire, this castle served as the summer residence of the bishops of Le Puy until the French Revolution. Its two massive towers flanking the main building date from the 14th and 15th centuries, while the inner courtyard and grand staircase reflect later classical alterations from the 17th and 18th centuries. The building now houses the local tourist office and hosts summer exhibitions on local heritage.
