Description


Autour de 1475, Jehan II de Latour fait construire une forteresse composée de deux corps de logis, avec quatre puissantes tours et un donjon massif. Ce château fort, construit en forme de triangle sur un éperon rocheux, est naturellement défendu par le marais. Au nord, en avancée, la tour de la Fuye monte la garde. Après trois siècles de conflits entre Français et Anglo-Aquitains dans la région, il n'est pas possible de construire un château autrement que fort et défensif. En 1603, Jacques de Courbon, ayant épousé Jeanne de Gombaud en 1595, libère totalement Romette d'une indivision de cent treize ans. C'est alors qu'accordant les vocables de La Roche et de Courbon, apparaît La Roche-Courbon qui sera désormais le nom du lieu. Au XVIIe siècle, Jean-Louis de Courbon, petit-fils de Jacques, transforme La Roche-Courbon comme on peut le voir sur le tableau du peintre hollandais Jan Hackaert (1628-1685). Around 1475, Jehan II de Latour built a fortress composed of two main buildings, with four powerful towers and a massive keep. This fortified castle, built in the shape of a triangle on a rocky spur, is naturally defended by the marsh. To the north, as it advances, the Fuye tower stands guard. After three centuries of conflict between the French and Anglo-Aquitans in the region, it is not possible to build a castle other than a strong and defensive one. In 1603, Jacques de Courbon, having married Jeanne de Gombaud in 1595, totally liberated Romette from a one-hundred and thirteen-year-old indivision. It is then that, granting the terms La Roche and Courbon, appears La Roche-Courbon which will henceforth be the name of the place. In the 17th century, Jean-Louis de Courbon, grandson of Jacques, transformed La Roche-Courbon as can be seen in the painting by the Dutch painter Jan Hackaert (1628-1685).
