Château Rouge stands in Albertville (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château Rouge stands in the historic Conflans district, on the heights of Albertville, within a fortified medieval town that once controlled the crossroads of the Alpine valleys. Built in the 15th century, it owes its name to its red brick construction, a material rare in Savoy at the time and more common in neighbouring Italy. It sits close to the 14th century gothic small palace, now a museum, with which it should not be confused. The building illustrates the architecture of late medieval Savoyard fortified houses.
