Château de Rochebaron, Medieval castle in Bas-en-Basset, France
The fortress stands at 653 meters altitude with three defensive towers, machicolations, ramparts, and murder holes along its stone walls.
Built in the 12th century, the castle served as a strategic stronghold for the Lords of Rochebaron until the 16th century.
Two museums within the castle present exhibits through 12 interpretative panels detailing the medieval life of nobility in the Loire Valley.
