Château Rocher is a fortified castle overlooking the Sioule river valley in the commune of Saint-Rémy-de-Blot, Puy-de-Dôme, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes région of France. Built by the Lords of Bourbon, the castle dates primarily to the 13th century, though evidence of 11th-century construction remains on the site. The romantic ruins feature three principal towers flanking the east and north fronts, a double wall system with a second fortification before the eastern towers, and a masonry bridge that once crossed the moat to the entry door. Perched on a cliff above the river, the castle has been classified as a historical monument since 1913 and was selected in 2018 as part of a mission to identify immovable heritage in danger.
