Château Les Rochers stands in Preignac (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine 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.

Les Rochers is an eighteenth-century estate built from 1777 for Jean-François de Rolland, a magistrate in the Bordeaux Parliament. Organized in a U-shaped plan around a rectangular courtyard, it combines a central residence flanked by two square pavilions with wine-production buildings. The classical composition of the main facade, marked by a central projection crowned with a triangular pediment, exemplifies the architecture of its period.
