Château de La Roche Millay, Nièvre, Medieval fortress in Larochemillay, France.
The granite castle stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Roche valley, featuring both medieval remnants and 18th-century classical architecture.
The original castle from the 12th century burned in 1412, leaving two circular towers before reconstruction in 1720 by architect Michel-Ange Caristie.
The castle represents the second most important barony of Nivernais, receiving the title of county from King Louis XIV in the 17th century.
The castle underwent major restoration work between 2018 and 2019, focusing on preserving the medieval section with support from heritage lottery funds.
Marshal de Villars commissioned the transformation of this defensive stronghold into an elegant residence, incorporating elements from the previous fortification.
