The castle La Rochepot (French Château de la Rochepot) is a castle in the French department of Côte-d'Or in the Burgundy region. It is located on a limestone cliff north of the town of La Rochepot (formerly La Roche-Nolay) about 15 kilometers southwest of Beaune and is listed since April 3, 2013 as Monument historique. [1]

Already in the 12th century, there was a fortified complex on the site, which was replaced in the 13th century by a castle at its present location. Renewed and expanded by Régnier Pot, his son Jacques and his grandson Philippe in the 15th century, she finally came through the families Montmorency, Silly and Legoux de La Berchère in the 17th century to François Blancheton, for which the associated Seigneurie 1741 raised to the county has been. During the French Revolution confiscated, the castle was finally auctioned off for demolition and then used as a quarry, so it was at the beginning of the 19th century, only a ruin. This was completely reconstructed in 1894 by Sadi Carnot, a son of the French President Marie François Sadi Carnot, in the style of historicism. The Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance buildings can now be visited for a fee.

Il était une fois – Le Château de La Rochepot …
... aujourd'hui to 10 hours, s'il n'y a pas de miracle, le château est en vente aux enchères, les murs, les meubles, tout ...
Je suis heureuse de l'avoir encore pu admirer entier lors d'une splendide ballade.
D'avoir pu écouter son histoire mouvementée et étonnante.
Qu'est-ce que le château va devenir après ce soir?
Demeure privé d'un membre de l'oligarchy?
Hotel de luxe for quelques riches?
C'est triste ...

Once upon a time – the castle de La Rochepot…
... today at 10 a.m. the castle will go under the hammer, unless another miracle happens, as has happened several times in its history.
The walls, the furniture, everything...
This time not under the hammer of craftsmen to build houses in the surrounding area with their stones, but under the hammer of a foreclosure sale.
It's nice that I was able to admire the castle and hear its amazing story as part of a wonderful hike.
How will this story continue at the end of this day?
What will become of this castle?
An oligarch's private residence?
Luxury hotel for a handful of rich people?
It is so sad ...

Unfortunately, the future is still unclear, at least until the confiscation by the state becomes legally binding and the way can finally be paved for a new use. Until then, the castle will continue to fall into disrepair - what a pity.
