Château de Roquedols, Medieval castle in Meyrueis, France
The Château de Roquedols consists of two rectangular buildings with round towers, forming a 25-meter square structure with thick sandstone walls.
The castle, first mentioned in documents from 1300, became a barony in 1604 when King Henry IV recognized the Pagès family's loyalty during religious conflicts.
The interior contains numerous state-classified furniture pieces, including antique cabinets and monumental paintings depicting biblical scenes and royal portraits.
The castle, which houses an information center for Cévennes National Park, remains closed to visitors since 2006 due to infrastructure issues.
A stone inscription above the entrance dates to 1534, while the front steps were modified in 1914, replacing an original double-ramp staircase.
