Château du Bettonnet stands in Betton-Bettonet (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Bettonnet Castle in Savoy evolved from an early 18th-century transformation of a former fortified house linked to the Chamoux seigneury. Between 1717 and 1719, the buildings were restructured, followed shortly after by the creation of a terraced three-level garden with orchard. Although the estate underwent significant modifications during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the castle retains the essential features of its period layout, particularly several ground-floor rooms whose decoration dates to the 18th and 19th centuries.
