Vieux-Ferrette

Vieux-Ferrette has served as a rural settlement in the Sundgau region of southern Alsace since the Middle Ages. It stands in the folded foothills of the Alsatian Jura, near the Swiss border and above the Upper Rhine plain. Wooded slopes, pasture and small farms shape this transition between the Rhine lowlands and the limestone uplands. Vieux-Ferrette is a separate commune from neighbouring Ferrette, where the ruins of a medieval castle recall the Counts of Ferrette; their county passed to the Habsburgs through a marriage in 1324.
