Château de Saint-André d'Apchon

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Saint-André-d'Apchon dates from the 16th century and notably hosted King Henry II and Catherine de Medici in 1548. It is possible to visit the castle but it can also be admired from the outside, from the dead end of the castle.

Saint Stephen's Church

Highlight • Historical Site

The Saint-Etienne Church shines entirely in golden yellow and pink stones. It is the oldest parish in Roanne. The church was built around 1343 and destroyed several times throughout history. The building visible today dates back to the late 19th century. However, remnants of various constructions remain, and the primitive architecture blends harmoniously with the new neo-Gothic elements. Don't miss the church's organ, which was once installed in the choir of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral.
