Château de la Rochefoucauld stands in Liancourt (Oise), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Liancourt, in the Oise department, what is now called the château de la Rochefoucauld actually refers to the former outbuildings of a vanished estate: the service buildings erected in the 18th century, the only surviving trace of what was once a much larger complex. The main residence no longer stands; what remains includes the gardener's pavilion and a dairy. In the early 20th century, the Floquet family converted these outbuildings into a shoe factory, adding industrial shed roofs in the courtyard that can still be seen today.
