Château de Salette stands in La Balme-les-Grottes (Isère), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In La Balme-les-Grottes, in the Isère department, the château de Salette stands on the site of a former Carthusian nunnery founded in the 13th century by Humbert I of Viennois and his wife Anne. The convent, which belonged to the diocese of Lyon, ceased to exist as a religious community during the French Revolution. The building, now a listed historic monument, still bears witness to this medieval origin.
