Château Rocher, also known as Château fort de Blot-le-Rocher, is a French castle overlooking the Sioule river valley in the commune of Saint-Rémy-de-Blot. The ruins stand on a cliff and consist of a 13th-century construction with evidence of building from as early as the 11th century. The castle was built by the Lords of Bourbon.
The site features three principal towers flanking the east and north fronts, an outer wall, and a masonry bridge crossing the moat that leads to a now-ruined entry door. A second wall once existed in front of the two eastern towers.
Privately owned, Château Rocher has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1913.
