Château de la Roque stands in Fayet (Aveyron), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de la Roque, built in the second half of the sixteenth century at Fayet in Aveyron, belongs to a tradition of castle construction that characterized Rouergue during the fifteenth century. The building retains few medieval features: its present form results largely from alterations made after the Hundred Years' War. Around 1577, it underwent substantial renovation, enlargement, and was fitted with mullioned windows and defensive elements. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, further modifications and decoration transformed it into a family residence.
