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

Château de Rocheprise stands on the right bank of the upper Seine valley at Brémur-et-Vaurois, visible from the D971 road. The photograph shows joined sections of pale cream and tan stone, with two round towers under dark conical roofs flanking a central block; the taller central tower has a slate-blue pointed roof. Roofs mix red terracotta tiles and dark slate, and windows have white frames and grey shutters.

A first fortress with dry moats was built in the 16th century; its drawbridge tower dates from 1551 and its dovecote also survives from that period. The present round towers were added around 1870 and the main dwelling was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, giving the château its revival Renaissance appearance.

The château stands at the southern entrance of the hamlet of Brémur, on the right bank of the upper Seine valley, and is visible from the D971 road between Troyes and Dijon. Its name, Rocheprise, refers to the rocky slope it occupies. The building is private and cannot be visited, so it is seen from the road.

The château is private property and cannot be visited; it is seen from the outside, from the D971 road (the old Troyes–Dijon RN71) at the southern entrance to the hamlet of Brémur. The drawbridge tower of 1551 and the dovecote survive from the 16th-century moated fortress, while the present towers date from about 1870 and the main dwelling from the late 19th century. The facades, roof and dovecote have been listed as historic monuments since 1975.

On 7 July 2017, stage 7 of the Tour de France passed directly in front of the château, which is visible from the D971 road between Troyes and Dijon. The race route follows the old N71 along the right bank of the upper Seine valley here.
