Rochemaure castle, Medieval castle in Rochemaure, France.
The castle sits on a volcanic rock formation above the Rhône valley, featuring a central tower and fortified walls made of basalt and limestone.
The Adhémar family from Montélimar constructed the fortress between the 11th and 12th centuries to control merchant traffic along the Rhône River.
The Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel within the castle grounds contains a medieval magic square and a fresco depicting the White Penitents.
Guided tours operate from July through August, with sessions at noon and 6 PM, lasting one hour and costing between 3 to 5 euros.
The castle walls incorporate a pattern of black basalt from Coiron plateau and white limestone from Cruas quarry, creating a distinctive checkerboard effect.
