Château de Villemorant, 19th-century château in Neung-sur-Beuvron, France

Château de Villemorant is a 19th-century castle located in Neung-sur-Beuvron in central France, built with classic architectural features of its time. The building sits on extensive grounds that include gardens and open spaces, now jointly managed by four nearby municipalities.

The castle was built in the first half of the 19th century by a wealthy landowner and has shaped the region since then. In the 1970s, the president of the Central African Republic purchased the estate before it later transferred to public administration.

Since 1993 the castle has housed the headquarters of the communauté de communes, the joint authority of Neung-sur-Beuvron, Millançay, Montrieux-en-Sologne and Vernou-en-Sologne. The four municipalities bought the building and its 23-hectare park to support local economic development, so an estate built for a wealthy landowner now serves as an intercommunal administrative centre.

The castle stands in a 23-hectare park bought in 1993 by Neung-sur-Beuvron, Millançay, Montrieux-en-Sologne and Vernou-en-Sologne. The building is the seat of the communauté de communes, so the working offices are not open to the public; the park is the part to walk.

Jean-Bedel Bokassa, then president of the Central African Republic, bought the château in 1972. In 1993 the building and its 23-hectare park were bought by four communes: Neung-sur-Beuvron, Millançay, Montrieux-en-Sologne and Vernou-en-Sologne.
