Château de la Roche du Roi, Historic monument on hillside in Aix-les-Bains, France.

The rectangular castle features circular towers with domes, a central polygonal keep, and two basement levels rising above a raised ground floor.

Built between 1897 and 1900 by architect Jules Pin Ainé for Jean Archiprêtre-Dugit, the castle construction cost reached 496,000 francs at that time.

The castle incorporates architectural elements from both Oriental palaces and Renaissance castles, with Art Nouveau wrought iron gates at its entrance.

The castle stands on Boulevard de la Roche-du-Roi, offering views over the southern part of Aix-les-Bains and the Tresserve hill.

In 1982, a foreign buyer proposed to dismantle the entire castle stone by stone to rebuild it in another country.
