Domaine du château de Moncley stands in Moncley (Doubs), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Built from 1778 by the architect Alexandre Bertrand of Besançon, Moncley castle replaced an older fortified castle overlooking the Ognon valley, now vanished. Its U shaped main building, flanked by two towers and centred on a rotunda, surrounds a raised courtyard, in a neoclassical style left partly unfinished at the time of the Revolution. Inside, visitors find an Italian style vestibule and original Louis XVI decor, including rare wallpapers hung at the end of the 18th century. The estate has remained in the same family since it was built.

What to know

  • The castle is a listed historic monument, protected together with its whole estate, courtyards, park and access avenue.
  • The guided tour covers several furnished rooms over multiple floors, including the rotunda drawing room and bedrooms with their original wallpapers.
  • Visits are arranged through the Besançon tourist office, and the estate also hosts events and guest rooms.
  • The site lies close to Besançon and the Franche-Comté TGV station.
