This private castle is in perfect condition, registered historique2 monument since 1974, and not open to tourism.In the Middle Ages, the cities of "Rainbow Valley" (Arch in Valley of Loue) and Sonans (now Arc-et-Senans) belong to the Lord of Salins, vassals of Burgundy County and protected by two houses -fortes: Roche-sur-Loue east and Château-Rouillaud, burned in 1638, to the west.
In 1080, the manor and the original fortress of Roche-sur-Loue Étiennette belong to the Countess of Burgundy (wife of Count William of Burgundy and mother of Pope Callistus II).
The castle locks a communication node on the "Jura salt road" and a ford on the Loue. It consists of a large fortified tower, located at the site of the current gate.
