Moncley Castle

Just 17 km from Besançon , in Franche-Comté, the Château de Moncley stands as one of the finest examples of 18th-century architecture. This elegant neoclassical residence , built between 1778 and 1789 by Claude-Alexandre Bertrand , a disciple of the renowned architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux , embodies all the grandeur and harmony of its era.

Featuring a consecrated chapel , the château was listed as a Historical Monument in 1944 , in recognition of its exceptional heritage value. Its refined architecture, balanced proportions, and natural setting make it an exceptional place, emblematic of the French neoclassical style.
