The castle was built by the Lords of Bourbon. A masonry bridge crossing the moat comes up against the entry door, now ruined, and the outer wall. A second wall existed in front of the two eastern towers. Three principal towers flanked the east and north fronts.Privately owned, Château Rocher has been listed since 1913 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
