Château Adt stands in Forbach (Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

In Forbach, the Adt castle is a Second Empire mansion built from Jaumont stone, whose history unfolds through the building's successive uses rather than through its architecture alone. Visitors come here less for a museum tour than to discover a structure that was in turn a forestry school, a match factory, an industrialist's residence and a hospital, before becoming the town's conservatory of music and dance. The surrounding Sainte-Barbe park completes the estate.
