Château de la Roche du Roi stands in Aix-les-Bains (Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing on the hillside above Aix-les-Bains, overlooking the racecourse and golf course, this château built at the very end of the 19th century blends oriental influences with Renaissance inspiration in a style sometimes called 'aixois'. Its central keep topped with a polygonal spire and its Art Nouveau gateway make it visible from town as an architecturally singular building. After years of neglect, it was bought back by the municipality and later sold to a private owner tasked with its restoration.
