Château de Moncley, Neoclassical castle in Moncley, France

The castle features a grand entrance with four Greek-inspired columns and a central rotunda, complemented by two symmetrical towers on the garden facade.

Built between 1778 and 1790 for Marquis François Terrier de Santans, the first president of Besançon Parliament, by architect Claude-Joseph-Alexandre Bertrand.

The interior preserves original Louis XVI decorations, including rare wallpapers from 1785 to 1787, along with period furniture and paintings.

Located 20 minutes from Besançon and 10 minutes from Franche-Comté TGV station, the castle opens for visits from May to October.

Five guest rooms, including the Dovecote Suite and Rotunda Room, maintain their historical character while serving as accommodation for modern visitors.
