End of a peak, the castle of Rochebaron dominates the gorges of the Loire. Undoubtedly built by the lords de Rochebaron in XIe century, the castle was altered in XIVe and XVe centuries, before being abandoned under Louis XIV. The imposing ruins are composed of an enclosure quadrangular, flanked round towers and defended by a cylindrical tower on the side of the attack, and a triangular tower connected to the round tower by a courtine with double defense.
