Origin and history

Château du Roc, also known as Château du Roch, is an iconic 18th-century building located in the commune of Saint-André-d'Allas, Dordogne. Located at Le Roch, it is part of the Black Perigord landscape, a region known for its architectural heritage and green landscapes. This castle, typical of the noble houses of the time, reflects the influence of the local buildings of this period.

The castle was listed as historic monuments on 6 December 1948, an official recognition of its heritage value. This protection demonstrates its importance in local and regional history, although the precise details of its construction or original owners are not mentioned in the available sources. Its strategic location in the southeast of the Dordogne makes it a point of interest for lovers of history and architecture.

The bibliographic references associated with the castle, such as the works of A. Sadouillet-Perrin or Guy Penaud, underline its integration into the casteral heritage of the Périgord. This work highlights its role among the many seigneurial homes in the region, although little specific information about its history or occupants is available. The Château du Roc remains a symbol of the architectural heritage of New Aquitaine.
