Château de Roquefère stands in Monflanquin (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Roquefère stands at the edge of a plateau overlooking the Lède river, in the commune of Monflanquin, Lot-et-Garonne. Built in the 13th century, it controlled the roads linking Monflanquin to Castillonnès and Villeréal, and its L-shaped layout, towers and wall walk still reflect this defensive purpose. Visitors can see a round tower later turned into a dovecote with over a thousand nesting holes, as well as a room with a painted 18th-century ceiling, evidence of later works to make the place more comfortable to live in.
