Yes Oestrogen is made in Ovaries. Ovaries are both Gonads and endocrine glands. Hence Oestrogen is made in Ovaries.

As a result, although the ovaries are the primary site of oestrogen production, other glands and tissues in the body can also produce oestrogen, albeit in smaller amounts. Other sites of oestrogen production include the adrenal glands and fat tissues.
