Château de la Rochebeaucourt, Medieval castle in Édon, France
The remaining foundation of Château de la Rochebeaucourt sits on a rocky promontory where the Nizonne River meets a small stream from Rougnac.
Originally constructed in the 13th century, the castle underwent multiple reconstructions until German forces set it ablaze in 1944, leaving only the base structures.
King Charles IX stayed at the castle in 1565 when it ranked among the largest residences in the Charente region of France.
The nine-hectare park surrounding the castle was transferred to the municipality of Combiers in 2021 for public access development.
A neoclassical triumphal arch named 'Arch of Virtue' stands on the grounds, built in 1840 by Alexandre Léon Luce de Béarn as a memorial to his wife.
