Description
This 15th century structure works, on the ground floor, such as a vaulted passage with third-party doors at each end. It includes three levels accessible by a spiral staircase located in a turret. Each level has a room lit by a window and heated by a large fireplace which is no longer there. At an undetermined time, the dungeon lost its coronation and its roof was redone. The slots and machinery were removed and the roof was lowered. Access to the dungeon was done by a bridge. Vestiges of old ruined fortifications surround the building. At the end of the 17th century, the castle was abandoned and transformed into a farm.
