En un regard
Le château en bref
Romefort Castle, at Puyrolland (Charente-Maritime), is a former 15th-century manor house built on a castral motte. It has a hexagonal plan, is surrounded by moats, and was remodelled in the 17th century. It included a north-west tower whose crown has been removed, with three vaulted rooms, a gateway surmounted by a pavilion, a spiral staircase and a great hall with doors decorated with carved monkeys. Owned first by the Héraud family, then by the Beaumonts before 1454, it later passed to the Vidaux, Cumont, du Sauvage and Pandin families, before being sold in the 18th century to Jacques Mounier. In 2021, only the motte and remnants of walls survive; no protection is mentioned.
