    The Château de Ferrette is one of the oldest in Alsace. The ruins of the upper castle offer a superb panorama of the Vosges, the Black Forest and the Jura. The lower castle has several round towers open at the throat and equipped with fire hydrants. Allow 45 to 60 minutes for a self-guided visit to the castle.

      After the Revolution of 1789, Ferrette Castle was abandoned and later it was used as a quarry, like many other castles and churches in France.

        The first mention of Château de Ferrette dates back to around the year 1100, making it one of the oldest castles in Alsace.
        Seat of the Counts of Ferrette, it became possession of the Habsburgs in 1324.
        The castle suffered heavy damage during the Thirty Years' War, notably in 1634/35, and was pillaged and burned in 1789.
        Since then, it has been in a state of ruin and freely accessible to visitors.
