Chateau de la roche Jargu

Château de la Roche Jargu, located in Ploëzal in northern France, is a beautiful medieval castle dating back to 1030. The castle was built on the remains of a 10th Century gallo-romanian camp during the time of King Richard I of England. During the French Revolution, the castle was destroyed by fire. After reconstruction, the estate was used for farming until it was sold in 1968 and partially restored. It is now a private residence.

The impressive castle has a great location with lands and offering impressive views, from the great lawn to the cliffs facing the Laïta river. The inner courtyard, surrounded by the walls of the castle, is only accessible from the gate which is towered over by a chamfered Romanesque arch, one of the few surviving elements of the old castle. Today, the castle offers cozy rooms and apartments, some of them with square towers. Each tower has circular rooms and doorways, typical of this style of building. For nature lovers there is the forest, part of which is a nature reserve. A great place to relax and explore the natural surroundings.
