Château de La Rochefoucauld, Medieval castle in La Rochefoucauld, France.
The castle features three levels of galleries surrounding a central courtyard, with a defensive tower dating from the eleventh century.
The initial fortification was established around 980 by Fucaldus, marking the beginning of continuous ownership by the La Rochefoucauld family.
The castle demonstrates the evolution of French architecture from medieval military structures to Renaissance residential design through its successive modifications.
Located in Charente department, the castle welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 19:00, except Tuesdays and annual winter closure until February 14.
The castle's superimposed galleries, constructed during the 16th century under François II de La Rochefoucauld, represent a singular architectural feature in French castles.
