Château de Rocan, Renaissance castle in Chémery-Chéhéry, France.

The Rocan Castle features a square main building measuring ten meters on each side, with two cylindrical towers positioned at opposite corners.

Built in the 16th century by Raoul de Coucy, the castle was attacked by Imperial forces following the Battle of La Marfée in 1641.

The facades and roofs of the castle received protected status as a historical monument in 1981, representing French Renaissance defensive architecture.

Documents about the castle can be accessed at the Heritage and Photography Media Library in Charenton-le-Pont under reference number PA00078421.

The castle towers retain their rectangular gun ports and corbels at cornice level from a former machicolation structure.
