点评:The keep of Rochemaure castle is erected by the Adhemar family from 1120 onward. Its curtain wall and lord's manor are dated thirteenth century. The stronghold is abandoned by 1630 and left to decay.
Rochemaure castle is very ruinous : The entrance section has not yet been excavated and is damaged beyond recognition. Only wall fragments remain of the lord's manor. The keep is a hollow shell. No towers or walls can be scaled.
I nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed my visit and that is entirely due to Jeanne. Although I was the only client and rain was pouring she was willing to take me on a one hour guided tour of the town fortifications and the castle.
Sheltered by my umbrella she explained the origins and geographical situation of Rochemaure, summarised the history of the fortress and told me what the interior of the keep looked like and how it was defended. She proved very friendly, knowledgeable and open to questions and allowed me time to take pictures afterwards.
Needless to say : The guided tour is a must for any visitor to Rochemaure !
翻译:罗舍莫尔城堡的天守阁由阿德玛家族于1120年起建造。其幕墙和领主庄园可追溯至13世纪。这座要塞在1630年被废弃,任其腐朽。
罗舍莫尔城堡破败不堪:入口部分尚未挖掘,已损毁至难以辨认。领主庄园仅存残垣断壁。天守阁空空如也,没有任何塔楼或城墙可供攀爬。
尽管如此,我还是十分享受这次参观,这完全归功于珍妮。尽管我是唯一一位游客,而且当时正下着倾盆大雨,但她还是愿意带我进行一个小时的导览游,参观城镇防御工事和城堡。
在我撑着伞的庇护下,她向我讲解了罗舍莫尔的起源和地理位置,概述了这座堡垒的历史,并向我介绍了天守阁的内部结构以及防御工事的运作方式。她非常友善,知识渊博,乐于解答问题,之后还允许我拍照。
毋庸置疑:对于任何前往罗舍莫尔的游客来说,导览游都是不容错过的!
