The commune of Pont de la Roque was the subject of a first Allied bombing on April 23, 1944. The bombers targeted the stone bridge built over the coastal river of Siena. Nearly 20 air raids were launched to destroy this bridge and it was not until mid-June that three of the eleven arches were destroyed by bombs.

The castle of Gratot was owned by the Argouges family for five centuries. It then stood empty until volunteers restored it and brought it back to life from 1968. A small bridge with three arches (back of the castle) over the moat leads through the gatehouse to the courtyard. The outbuildings are located around the gatehouse. There is a corner tower on the west side. The 18th-century pavilion has a mansard roof and has three floors and fifteen rooms. The living quarters, above which the roof is missing, are accessed via a small staircase. On the ground floor, the light falls through high windows and on the upper floor through dormer windows.

It was in 1852 that a cut stone bridge comprising eleven arches spanned the Siena. A strategic objective for the Allies during the Liberation, its destruction was important to hinder the German withdrawal. A first sabotage attempt was made by the Trelly resistance group, under the direction of Roger Lemesle. It was bombed, for the first time, on April 23, 1944, without success, then regularly thereafter by four Royal Air Force bombers until June 14 and 15, dates during which three of the eleven arches collapsed. A "Bailey" type bridge was installed by the Allies at the end of July 1944 to allow the passage of Brigadier General B.C. Clarke's troops. This replacement bridge, planned for two years, will be used until 1967. A new bridge, inaugurated in 1967, will be built fifty meters upstream of the old one.
