Château du Fey stands in Villecien (Yonne), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a hilltop above the Yonne valley, the château du Feÿ combines remnants of a 16th-century house with the building campaign begun in 1620 by Nicolas de Baugy. A long tree-lined drive through the surrounding woods leads to the property in Villecien. Inside, several rooms keep their old paneling, including a bedroom known as Ninon de Lenclos's room, named after a guest tradition links to the estate.
