Château de Ferrette stands in Ferrette (Haut-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 14th century, 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur above the town of Ferrette, the ruins of this medieval fortress recall the turbulent history of the county of Ferrette, once one of the most powerful lordships of Upper Alsace. Built in the early 12th century by Frederick of Ferrette, the castle was rebuilt several times before being destroyed by French troops and later by rebellious peasants during the Revolution. A visit here is short and suited to those drawn to regional history who don't mind a site left largely untouched, with no facilities.
