Château et cimetière de Châtenois stands in Châtenois (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Châtenois, in the Bas-Rhin region, a double enclosure from the 13th century remains, the trace of a castle that no longer exists and of a fortified cemetery linked to it. This site is one of the few places in Alsace where the former defensive role of a burial ground can still be read in the standing walls. The interest lies in these walls and their layout rather than in surviving buildings, since the castle itself is gone.
