La Rochefoucauld - Château

A keep or castle is known, where the Château de La Rochefoucauld is now, since 1026, when some noble Fucaldus was mentioned, who had a "castrum vocatur Rocha", erected on a "rock" overlooking the river Tardiore. Only few parts of the medieval castle still exist. Most of the castle seen today was erected around 1520 in the style of the Renaissance.

After a thousand years, the castle is still owned by the family of La Rochefoucauld, descendents of noble Fucaldus.
