About Chateau Fort de Roquetaillade
Add to favoritesRoquetaillade is a unique case: it comprises two fortified castles within the same enclosure, inhabited by the same family for 700 years. While the exterior is a classic medieval fortress, the interior was completely transformed by the renowned architect Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century. The decorations, furnishings, and paintings are breathtakingly exuberant in the Neo-Gothic style. The castle is still a working farm (producing Graves wine) and offers an immersive experience in a living residence, where medieval history meets the comfort and visionary style of the 19th century.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Tours are often conducted by members of the owning family, which adds a personal touch and tasty anecdotes that you won't find in guidebooks.
