Chateau de Rochefort, Medieval castle ruins in Asnières-en-Montagne, France.
The castle stands on a rocky spur with six towers and consists of two main sections: the seigniorial residence and the entrance building.
Built in 1196, the castle was purchased by Jacques Coitier, physician to King Louis XI, who constructed the noble lodging at the end of 15th century.
The association Les Clefs de Rochefort manages the site since 2002, organizing restoration works and planning to transform spaces into exhibition and performance areas.
The castle is accessible via the D905 from Montbard, followed by a turn towards Asnières-en-Montagne on D228, with the final approach requiring a one-kilometer walk.
The castle represents one of the rare examples of pre-Renaissance architecture in France, maintaining its original stone walls despite lacking roofs and floors since 1820.
