Château de Rocquencourt, Historical monument in Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt, France.

The castle displays neoclassical features designed by architect Charles de Wailly, with a main entrance gate adorned with intertwined CFH initials.

Construction of the castle started in 1781 but was interrupted by the French Revolution, later completed by Daniel Doumerc-Belan and demolished in 1963.

The estate belonged to notable figures including the Duchess of Corigliano, banker Beer Leon Fould, and Cecile Furtado-Heine who developed the park.

The remaining park of the former castle received heritage protection status on November 23, 1946, and stands near several historical monuments.

During World War II, the castle endured substantial damage from occupation, leaving only the entrance gate with its distinctive monogram as the final remnant.
