Château de Roquefère, Medieval castle in Monflanquin, France.

The castle consists of three residential wings arranged in an L-shape, with a square tower, a cylindrical tower, and an entrance tower.

Edward I of England received the castle through the Treaty of Amiens in 1279 and transferred it to Jean de Grailly in 1280.

The first floor of the southern building contains a room adorned with an 18th-century painted ceiling representing local artistic techniques.

The castle facades and roofs received protection status through a decree issued on June 20, 1963, ensuring their preservation for future generations.

A round tower on the plateau edge was converted into a dovecote capable of housing 1,300 nesting boxes.
