Château de la Rochepot, Medieval fortress in La Rochepot, France
The castle exhibits Gothic and Renaissance Revival architecture with a distinct burgundy tiled roof atop a hill in eastern France.
Colonel Sadi Carnot led a complete reconstruction of the castle in 1893 after receiving it as a gift from his mother Cécile Carnot.
The castle represents traditional Burgundian architecture through its glazed tile patterns and defensive military construction methods from medieval times.
Located 5 kilometers from Nolay between Beaune and Autun, the castle remains closed to visitors with exterior photography permitted.
French authorities seized the castle in 2018, discovering three Salvador Dali artworks and a Rolls Royce during a money laundering investigation.
