The Château de Morimont is a ruined castle in the Alsace region of France, in the commune of Oberlarg in the Haut-Rhin département. It is 40 km southwest of Mulhouse and 45 km west of the Swiss city of Basel.
The first documented mention of the castle is from 1271, when the Count of Ferrette made an oblation to the bishop of Basel. It was occupied by, and takes its name from, the Morimont family, vassals of the Ferrettes, and later the Habsburgs. A war with Basel and the Swiss led to the castle's destruction some time between 1445 and 1468. It was rebuilt by the Morimonts in the 15th and 16th centuries with seven artillery towers. In 1582 they sold it to the Counts of Ortenbourg Salamanque who kept it until the Thirty Years' War, during which it was destroyed by French troops in 1637. In 1641, Louis XIV gave it and the manor to the Vignacourts, who stayed until the French Revolution. It subsequently belonged to Jean Bruat, then Aaron Meyer, and, from 1870, the Viellard family.
