En un regard
Le château en bref
The château de la Roche, also known as the château de la Roche Aigueperse, in Chaptuzat (Puy-de-Dôme), was built between 1250 and 1270, probably from a watchtower belonging to the fortress of Montpensier, by Guichard IV or Humbert de Beaujeu. In the fifteenth century it became the fief of Louis de Bosderon, then of the L'Hospital family – from which the chancellor Michel de L'Hospital came, having been born at the château – and it remained in that family until the eighteenth century. It passed to Anne-Gilbert Archon du Gravier in 1720, then to Baron Jean Grenier in 1812, who carried out neo-medieval restorations there. It has been listed as a monument historique since 1965, its oval tower being classified in 1981.
