Rochefort Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Located in the commune of Amplepuis in the Rhône department, Rochefort Castle dates from the 14th and 17th centuries; it is today the residence of the de La Brosse family. It includes the entrance pavilion (listed as a monument historique). Three kilometres away, halfway to the Col du Pin Bouchain, stands the sturdy silhouette of the castle (14th and 17th centuries). A drawbridge with a large portal of ashlar stone gives access to the courtyard. At each corner stands a square tower with a French-style roof. Time and bad weather have taken their toll on the building, which is not open to visitors, but its exterior can be seen from various angles.
