Château de Romefort, Medieval castle in Ciron, France.

The quadrangular castle stands 30 meters tall with four corner towers, combining residential spaces and defensive elements into a single structure.

Built between 1180 and 1190, the castle first appears in documents from 1182 with Gaudin de Romefort as its initial owner.

The castle underwent renovations in the troubadour style between 1872 and 1877, reflecting the architectural preferences of the Bondy family.

The castle remains private property and access is restricted, while historical records are available at the Indre departmental archives.

The fortress controlled a ford across the Creuse River, positioned 900 meters southeast of the village church.
