Château de la Roche

The symmetrical stone structure with classical columns rises from landscaped grounds in the Dordogne department of southwestern France.

Count Grigory Kushelev-Bezborodko commissioned the construction of this nineteenth-century château, which later served as a military hospital during World War I.

The château represents the transition from medieval defensive fortifications to refined country residences for French nobility during the 1800s.

Visitors can locate the château at coordinates 45°11′32″N 0°37′14″E, accessible through the main roads of the Dordogne region.

The château's wartime role as a shelter for elderly Jewish refugees during World War II demonstrates its transformation from aristocratic residence to humanitarian sanctuary.
