Château de Bassy stands in Bassy (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Standing on a rocky spur more than a hundred metres above the confluence of the Usses and Rhône rivers, the château de Bassy owes its present form to a rebuilding carried out in 1785 by Jean-Baptiste Carelli. This Count of Cevins, whose family had owned the estate since the late 17th century, gave it its quadrangular plan flanked by two square towers. The site occupies a strategic position, once linked to the salt trade that passed through the Regonfle warehouse below.
