Château de Rochefort-en-Terre, Medieval castle in Rochefort-en-Terre, France.

The castle stands on a rocky outcrop above the village, featuring restored Neo-Gothic architecture with towers, gates, and original medieval elements.

Built in the 12th century by the Lords of Rochefort, the castle endured multiple destructions before American painter Alfred Klots purchased and rebuilt it in 1907.

The castle grounds now house the Naïa Museum of Fantastic Arts, displaying contemporary works inspired by local folklore and supernatural tales.

Visitors can explore the castle park during daylight hours and discover architectural elements from various periods, including materials from the Keralio castle.

During both World Wars, the castle served as a field hospital, providing medical care to soldiers in the region.
