Château de Laroque, Medieval castle in Laroquebrou, France.
Château de Laroque is a medieval fortress in the Lot region featuring twin towers on its western side. The southern facade includes a Romanesque chapel with carved stonework, while portions of the original defensive wall structure remain visible throughout the site.
The fortress was built in the 11th and 12th centuries as a strategic defense structure and appears in records dating to 1108. Its development reflects the medieval needs of the region, with later modifications made by successive owners.
The chapel shows clear Romanesque features that stand apart from later construction phases, revealing how the site expanded across different periods.
The site is privately owned, so visitors should verify accessibility and opening hours in advance through local resources. The nearby tourist information office can provide current details about viewing the castle.
The northern section contains remains of a square keep from earlier defensive phases. This older core stands distinctly apart from the later eastern wing and reveals layers of construction history.
