About Château de la Roche Courbon
Château de la Roche Courbon is a Renaissance château located in the commune of Saint-Porchaire, in the Charente-Maritime department of France. The castle is surrounded by a moat and set in a large park, with French-style gardens designed by André Le Nôtre. The château was originally built in the 15th century as a fortress, but was extensively remodeled in the 17th century. It has a unique feature of a cave system beneath it, which includes a network of underground chambers that were used as hiding places during the Wars of Religion. The castle has been owned by the same family for over 500 years and is open to visitors year-round, offering guided tours of the castle, gardens, and underground caves.
