Château de Montmoyen, Castle in Montmoyen, Côte-d'Or, France

The Château de Montmoyen is a stone castle built on a medieval rocky outcrop in southern Burgundy. The structure features a main building with two side wings forming a U-shape, displaying austere exterior lines paired with richly decorated colored interiors and formal classical styling.

The castle was founded in the 12th century as a medieval stronghold on a fortified rocky site and received a classical redesign in the 17th century. In the 20th century it served as a holiday camp before private owners acquired it in 1989 and launched extensive restoration work.

The château stands beside Montmoyen's neo-Gothic church, whose carved gargoyles can be seen from the village street. Its name comes from the village itself, and the estate long shaped local landholding: the Massol family bought the lands and seigneuries of Montmoyen, Hierce and Grandbois in 1655. The building is private and not open to visitors.

The interior is not open to the public, but visitors can view the exterior and surrounding gardens from outside. The village location makes it easy to observe the building facade and the park around it, which may have been designed according to classical principles.

The park behind the château is attributed to André Le Nôtre, gardener to Louis XIV, though the attribution is not documented. The same 1990 listing that protects the château covers the terrace with its rocaille niche, the dovecote, the boar fountain and the entrance gate.
