Rochefort-en-Terre is a designated Petite Cité de Caractère and one of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
The medieval château in the town was the home of American painter Alfred Klots. He purchased it in the early 1900s and oversaw its restoration. His son Trafford Klots inherited the château and continued to paint there and entertain other visiting artists. After his death his wife gave the building to the French government. In the grounds of the building is the NAIA museum, named after an early-twentieth-century witch who lived in the town. It houses a small collection of fantasy and kinetic art and sculpture.
