En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Lande is located in the commune of Rocles, in the Allier department. Built mostly in the 15th century, it is a representative example of Bourbonnais castle architecture of that period, completed by a second building campaign in the 17th century. It retains a keep crowned with a crenellated timber-framed wall-walk, surrounded by moats, as well as an older tower with a double-wall defensive system and a countermine gallery. A small chapel was built to plans by the architect René Moreau. The interior retains monumental fireplaces and panelled rooms. Among the château's owners was the de Lichy de Lichy family. The entire château, including its monumental fireplaces, panelled rooms, the park with its moats, the enclosure wall, the chapel and the outbuildings, has been listed (inscrit) as a historic monument since 3 December 2001.
