Chateau de Rochefort-en-Valdaine, Medieval fortress in Rochefort-en-Valdaine, France.
The castle stands on a rocky ridge with its 18-meter-high tower offering views of the Rhône Valley and the surrounding mountains.
Built as an earthen castle in the late 10th century, the structure was transformed into a stone fortress during the 12th century.
The Saint-Blaise chapel within the castle grounds served as the parish church for the village throughout medieval times.
Access to the castle is temporarily restricted due to ongoing preservation work, with safety concerns regarding falling stones.
The castle features three distinct mounds carved into the rock, showcasing the evolution of military architecture from the 11th to 16th centuries.
