Château de Laferté-sur-Aube stands in Champagne-Ardenne. No visits are on record for this building.

The castle of Laferté-sur-Aube no longer stands today. Built in the 11th century by Simon de Vexin on a height overlooking a priory, it endured the Hundred Years' War before being finally destroyed during the Wars of Religion. Nothing remains of it beyond a tree-lined esplanade and a street that still carries its name.
