Château dominant la ville avec sa Tour Réfous et sa Tour du Coq
Imposant édifice dont l’origine remonte au 13e siècle. Vaste programme de reconstruction entreprise vers 1588 sous le règne du prince-évêque Jaques-Christophe Blarer de Wartensee. Incendie en 1697. La cour est fermée côté sud par le long pavillon de la Princesse Christine. Le Château est aujourd’hui le siège des autorités judiciaires de la République et Canton du Jura. A l’Ouest du château se trouve l’imposante Tour Réfous (32 m de haut). Côté est, la Tour du Coq porte les armoiries des Blarer de Wartensee (coq) et celles de l’Evêché de Bâle (crosse). Magnifique vue sur la ville de Porrentruy.
