Château d'Hauterives stands in Gorges du Tarn Causses (Lozère), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The château d'Hauterives stands in ruins above the hamlet bearing its name, in the commune of Gorges du Tarn Causses in Lozère. Once the seat of the viscounty of Hauterive, it cannot be reached by any road, making it a destination for hikers drawn to forgotten heritage rather than a preserved monument. The appeal here lies in the setting itself, abandoned to the causses landscape.
