The Château de Meung-sur-Loire is a former castle and episcopal palace in the commune of Meung-sur-Loire in the Loiret département of France. Built and remodelled between the 12th and 18th centuries, it served mainly as a residence of the bishops of Orléans. Its oldest surviving parts date from the 12th century, and its rear façade was rebuilt in the Classical style under Bishop Fleuriau d'Armenonville, giving it the nickname "château with two faces." It is a protected monument historique within the UNESCO-listed Loire Valley.
