Château de Rochefort-en-Terre

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

The Château de Rochefort-en-Terre stands on a rocky outcrop above the village and features restored Neo-Gothic architecture with towers, gates, and original medieval elements. The structure incorporates materials from the nearby Keralio castle into its design.

The castle was founded in the 12th century by the Lords of Rochefort and suffered multiple destructions from conflict and warfare. American painter Alfred Klots acquired the property in 1907 and undertook comprehensive reconstruction that shaped its present form.

The castle grounds now house the Naïa Museum of Fantastic Arts, displaying contemporary works inspired by local folklore and supernatural tales. The collection reflects how the region's imagination shapes its modern artistic expression.

The castle is open during daylight hours and visitors can explore the park and architectural features from various periods. The grounds are easily walkable and offer views of the village below and the surrounding countryside.

During both World Wars, the castle served as a field hospital providing medical care to soldiers in the region. The rooms thus hold a lesser-known chapter of the site's past beyond its architectural significance.
