Château de La Roche stands in Larochemillay (Nièvre), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de La Roche stands on a rocky spur above Larochemillay, at the meeting point of two streams, on a site occupied since feudal times. Built in the early eighteenth century on the location of a vanished medieval stronghold, it retains a tower and stretches of ramparts from that earlier fortress. The classical main building, austere and sober in style, is set alongside outbuildings, a balustraded terrace and a garden, the whole being listed as a historic monument.
