Rochefort Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Rochefort, Switzerland.
The remains of Rochefort Castle stand on a rocky outcrop at 805 meters elevation, overlooking the Neuchâtel shoreline and the entrance to Val-de-Travers.
The castle underwent multiple architectural modifications between the 11th and 14th centuries before being abandoned in the 15th century and falling into ruins.
Archaeological excavations in 2018 and 2019 uncovered metallic artifacts that confirm the presence of armed groups during the 13th and 14th centuries.
The Association des Amis du Château de Rochefort manages the site and provides information panels for visitors to learn about its history.
Recent archaeological findings at the site include Roman coins and Bronze Age ceramics, indicating continuous human presence across different historical periods.
