The Château de Montpipeau[2] was a French château located in what is now the commune of Huisseau-sur-Mauves in the département of Loiret. It is not known when it was constructed, but it is first mentioned in the 12th-century.[3] A new design was made for Louis de Rochechouart by the French architect François Le Vau around 1660,[4] but it is not known whether his design was implemented.[5] The château and its land was originally a seigneurie but was elevated to a marquisat in 1766, four years after it was purchased by François Pierre du Cluzel. The château was mostly destroyed during the French Revolution.[6]
