Château de Pernant stands in Pernant (Aisne), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Pernant castle rises above the Aisne valley from its commanding location. Built in the early 14th century, this square-plan keep was reinforced with four corner turrets and originally roofed in slate. Underground quarries on the site were adapted to serve as outbuildings. Damage inflicted during World War I substantially altered the structure, particularly the small wing added in the 16th century, most of which has vanished.

The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 2007, protecting the southern and western moats, eastern terrace, and access from rue du Château.
The site contains underground remains of former quarries that were incorporated into the defensive structure.
Most of the original perimeter fortifications have disappeared.
Access and visiting conditions are not publicly specified; advance inquiry is advisable.
