# Château de Montferrand-le-château

Montferrand-le-Château, Doubs, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Château de Montferrand-le-château stands in Montferrand-le-Château (Doubs), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 12th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Perched on a cliff overlooking the Doubs river from a height of 125 metres, the château of Montferrand-le-Château survives only as ruins scattered through the woodland, though its square keep and stretches of wall still testify to the power once held by the lords who controlled a whole network of strongholds in the valley. The site is best approached as an open-air archaeological remain rather than a furnished historic house. Most visitors come for the view and the atmosphere of a stronghold left derelict since the seventeenth century.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
