Château de Rochebonne, Medieval castle in Theizé, France.
The castle consists of a medieval main building with two round towers on the east side, forming a ceremonial facade around an interior courtyard.
The fortress was demolished in 1363 during the Hundred Years War by Lyon cathedral canons, then reconstructed in the 15th century and remodeled in the 17th century.
The castle hosts the Rendez-vous de Rochebonne chamber music festival every September, directed by pianist Hervé Billaut with performances by musicians from various countries.
Since 1984, the municipality of Theizé manages the castle as a wine and tourism center focused on Beaujolais regional products and activities.
The building features painted decorations, including trompe-l'oeil effects and arcades adorned with twin columns, which remain visible in several preserved rooms.
