Description

This castle was mentioned in 1312, but there remains no trace of the medieval castle, which had to be completely rebuilt in the 16th or 17th century. Changes began in the 18th century, and those of the 19th century reinforced its 18th style, especially with the addition of pediments on the main facades, from a balcony to the south, the transformation of the front door, the replacement of the Lauzes by slates, the creation of mansards with skylights and the construction of the northwest tower. The attention paid to the external environment follows a similar approach. Today, the castle has a residential aspect and no longer presents any military or defensive sign.
