Château du Mouillon stands in Rive-de-Gier (Loire), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Rive-de-Gier, the Château du Mouillon is a late 19th century mansion built around an older core and transformed by two industrial families, the Arbels and then the Marrels. Turrets, loggias and slate roofs give it the look of a Loire valley manor, set within the town itself. Inside, an oval drawing room inspired by the Hôtel de Soubise, a panelled library and period furniture remain.
