Château d'Andert stands in Andert-et-Condon (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Andert Castle is a former 15th-century stronghouse that underwent successive renovations through the 19th century. Its U-shaped plan blends medieval remnants with later classical and romantic additions. The north façade retains traces of its defensive past with towers and a monumental rusticated portal from the 17th century, while the other facades reflect 19th-century transformations in the neo-gothic style.

What to know

The castle cannot be visited from the inside and can only be viewed from outside the public space.
Major 19th-century transformations significantly altered the original building, notably under Baron Richerand in 1829 and by contractor Chaboux in 1867.
A 15th-century door and fireplace remain inside the castle, but they are not accessible to the public.
The château suffered significant destruction during the Revolution, including the loss of two original towers and the pigeon house.
