Château Montalembert stands in Maîche (Doubs), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 16th century, first half of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Maîche, in the Haut-Doubs region, the château de Montalembert stands where a medieval fortress once stood before being destroyed in the 15th century, replaced by this building dated 1524, later reworked in the 18th century by the Guyot de Maîche marquises. The estate takes its name from Count Charles de Montalembert, who stayed there regularly until his death in 1870. On 13 November 1944, Churchill, de Gaulle and de Lattre de Tassigny met there on the eve of the Alsace offensive. Now a private property, the château retains a French formal garden and an early 19th century panoramic wallpaper in its main drawing room.
