Étienne II. De Villar took over the rule of Rochetaillée in 1150 and built a first castle. During an attack by the Huguenots in 1562, the castle was burned down and the village was destroyed. In the first half of the 17th century, the villagers had to struggle with all sorts of plagues: between 1628 and 1629 the plague raged in the region and in 1636 a flood destroyed the place.
Attractions
The Château de Rochetaillée-sur-Saône is located on a hill high above the city and the river. The castle was built in the 12th century, became state property after the French Revolution in 1790 and became increasingly dilapidated. In 1892 Pierre Claude Bellingard carried out the first restoration. When Jean Joseph Clerc took over the castle in 1902, he restored it and expanded it into a chateau. In 1959, Henry Malartre acquired the castle and set up the Musée Henri Malartre automobile museum in it .
