The Château d'Hérouville, commonly known as Honky Château, is an 18th-century château in the village of Hérouville in the Val-d'Oise, near Paris. Built in 1740 by the architect Gaudot from the remains of an earlier 16th-century château, it served as a recording studio from the late 1960s until its closure in 1985, producing hit records throughout the 1970s. The studio reopened in 2020, and in 2024 the château was selected by the mission for endangered immovable heritage.
