Château de Rougemont, Medieval castle ruins in Rougemont-le-Château, France.
The castle remains stand on a hilltop at 450 meters altitude, offering views toward the Jura mountains and Alps in eastern France.
Built in the late 12th century as a military fortress, the castle met its end in 1375 when attackers set it ablaze during a siege.
The castle grounds reveal archaeological materials that document the medieval military activities and daily life of its former inhabitants.
The protected monument site, designated in 1996, contains ancient ditches that mark the castle's original boundaries and defensive systems.
The castle's name, derived from Rubeomonte in Latin, references the red sandstone outcrops found throughout the surrounding Vosges region.
