Château de Rocheprise, Historical monument in Brémur-et-Vaurois, France.

The castle consists of four buildings arranged around a trapezoidal courtyard, with an original eastern facade and later neo-Gothic style modifications.

The construction began in 1551, featuring a drawbridge and a carriage entrance framed by rustic supporting columns along the defensive walls.

The castle chapel received a mass foundation in 1684 by Félicien de Sommyèvre, demonstrating the structure's integration into local religious practices.

The facades, roofs of the eastern wing and its annex, along with the dovecote have been protected since December 12, 1975.

German troops caused considerable damage to the castle's interior during World War II in 1940, destroying furniture and vandalizing the library collection.
