Château de l'Herm is a castle in the commune of Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac in the départment of Dordogne in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France.[1] Construction took place between 1500 and 1520 by Jean de Calvimont in the Forêt Barade. Jean de Calvimont was in the Bordeaux parliament and ambassador of Francis I to Spain. It was later abandoned, after the family left it in 1605.[2]


The moats are still visible. The castle is open to visitors.[3]


Eugène Le Roy used it as a setting in his novel Jacquou le Croquant[1] (1899), which was set in the early 1800s and used real place names and locations. In the book, a Barade forest peasant rebels against the evil comte de Nansac from the Château de l'Herm.


It has been listed since 1927 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
