Château de Bon-Hôtel, Historical castle in Ligny-le-Ribault, France.

Château de Bon-Hôtel is a four-storey, nearly square 19th-century castle with pale yellowish walls, dark steeply pitched roofs, corner turrets with conical roofs, and a covered arched porch at the base of its left wing. It stands on a grassy slope at the southern tip of the Creux pond, about 105 metres above sea level.

Construction of this residence took place between 1875 and 1882 under the commission of Georges Dupré de Saint Maur, who served as mayor and community councilor of Ligny-le-Ribault. In 1923, Swiss industrialist Henry Burrus purchased the property and redirected its purpose.

The château was built as a setting for society receptions and, in particular, as a meet for stag hunting with hounds, which is why the Sologne woodland around it mattered as much as the building. Clément Parent and his son Louis Parent were the architects. The name Bon-Hôtel is not explained in the sources.

The property remains private and closed to the public, but its exterior can be viewed from the adjacent Chemin de Saint-Laurent pathway. This walking route offers a practical way to observe the building's facade and its position along the pond.

The castle was designed by Clément Parent and his son Louis, who modelled its facades on royal residences of the 16th and 17th centuries, including Chenonceau, Chambord, Azay-le-Rideau and Challes-la-Poterie. The main entrance faces south.
