Petit Château stands in Montfermeil (Seine-Saint-Denis), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). No visits are on record for this building.

The Petit Château, also known as the maison de Bourlon, has stood in Montfermeil since the mid 17th century, reportedly on the site of a medieval leper hospital. Over the centuries the building served various purposes, including as the terminus of an experimental monorail line in the 19th century and as a school until the 1960s. It now houses a public institution run under child welfare services, which means visitors can only view the gate and facades from outside.
