Château de Rochefort, Medieval castle in Besson, France.
The Rochefort Castle contains a circular keep with a buttressed watchtower, topped by a small bell tower and includes a courtyard entrance gate.
Marie de Francierez registered the estate as a fief in 1503, including a house, barns, meadows, vineyards, and lands within the Rochefort territory.
The castle exhibits Renaissance architectural elements from the 15th and 16th centuries, featuring mullioned windows and intricate stone carvings.
Located 14 kilometers south of Moulins and 1 kilometer west of Besson, the castle received historical monument status in February 1928.
The estate generated an annual income of ten livres during the 16th century through its agricultural and viticultural activities.
