Château du Houssoy stands in Crouy-sur-Ourcq (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château du Houssoy stands in Crouy-sur-Ourcq, Seine-et-Marne, on the remains of a stronghold built by Jean de Sépoix in the 14th century. Of the original estate, only a square keep, a wing lined with machicolations along the Avenue de la Gare, and a large gabled wall with its chimneys have survived. Having passed through several families, including the Cossé-Brissac, the site now reflects medieval defensive architecture rather than a complete residential complex.
