The Château de la Lande is a castle in the commune of Rocles in the Allier département in the Auvergne region of France.[1]
Early in its history it was supposedly a possession or commandery of the Knights Templar.
The castle dates from the 15th century, with later construction in the 17th century.[1]
Among its later owners was the de Lichy de Lichy family.[2]
It has been listed since 2001 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
The castle is typical of a series of Bourbonnais castles of the 15th century. The keep is crowned with a round walk constructed from wood. There is a moat and an older tower with defensive devices. The small chapel was designed by the architect René Moreau.[1]
