Château de la Roche, Doubs, Historical monument in Rigney, France
The Château de La Roche stands on a cliff with views of the Ognon Valley, situated 26 kilometers northeast of Besançon in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
Built in the 13th century by Othon de La Roche, the castle remained with the La Roche family until the 14th century before passing to the Plaine family.
Since its complete restoration in 1986 by Parisian diamond dealer Jean de Foucauld, the castle hosts temporary art exhibitions throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the main residence featuring French ceilings, hooded fireplaces, a chapel, and a preserved dovecote from the eastern wing.
The castle underwent multiple transformations, functioning as a sugar factory in 1811, a cheese factory in 1847, and an agricultural school in 1869.
