Château Mouterde stands in Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d'Or (Rhône), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Perched above Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d'Or, overlooking the Rochecardon valley, this residence has carried several names through the centuries — Montfort, La Ronflarde, Le Figuier — before becoming known as château Mouterde. Built in the early 18th century and later extended, it shows two contrasting faces: a nearly blind facade facing the street, and a more elaborate west front with a central tower and two corner turrets. The estate is privately owned and cannot be visited.
