Château de Rochefort-sur-Séran stands in Cressin-Rochefort (Ain), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the commune of Cressin-Rochefort, in the Ain department, the ruins of a former fortified castle stand on a small rise overlooking the village. Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, it was once the seat of the lordship of Rochefort before passing through the hands of several Savoyard and Dauphiné families. Visitors find remains that bear witness to centuries of feudal occupation, restored through conservation work carried out at the end of the 20th century.
