Château de Villette stands in Villette (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The château de Villette stands next to the Saint-Symphorien church, in the commune of Villette in Meurthe-et-Moselle. The current complex combines medieval remains, a north tower pierced with old defensive openings, and a south tower rebuilt in the early twentieth century, all adjoining farm buildings. The main house, cut in half during the fighting of 1940, still bears visible marks of a turbulent past spanning several centuries of Lorraine history.
