The history of Larochemillay and its Château de La Roche
- 762 – A first castle is said to have been destroyed that year, perhaps during the fighting between Waifer, Duke of Aquitaine, and Pepin the Short.
- 12th century – The feudal castle of La Roche is the seat of the most important feudal power in the Nivernais and of one of the province's first baronies.
- 1253 – Jean II de la Roche-Millay, lord of Châtillon, frees by force at Autun some noblemen held by the chapter; he is sentenced to hand them back and to walk in a procession in his shirt.
- 1412 – The old medieval castle burns down; two round towers and some rampart walls survive.
- 1642 – René de Rousselé is styled “baron of La Roche-Millay”.
- 1720 – Marshal de Villars, who has bought the lordship, has the present château built on the medieval site.
- 1736 – Count François de La Ferté-Meun buys the lordship for 130,000 livres and has the works completed.
- 1792 – Most of the lordship's title deeds are burnt.
The Expedia listing gives neither the name nor the history of the château offered for booking; it only indicates an 18th-century building in Larochemillay. The only large château of that period documented in the commune is La Roche, whose history is summarised above as local context.
According to Wikipedia, the present Château de La Roche was rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century on a medieval site, perched where an old Roman oppidum stood, at the confluence of the La Roche stream and another brook. Classical and austere in style, it has a large main building with attic windows flanked by two rectangular pavilions, with 18th-century interior decoration reworked in the 19th.
