Description
The medieval castle, destroyed by the English in 1451, was rebuilt at the end of the 16th century and embellished in the middle of the 17th century. However, since its demolition in 1961, only ruins remain. The most remarkable element is the portal, located west of the castle, to which is accessed by a long driveway. This building, built in 1657, has a vaulted ground floor and served as a dove of the floor. It has a good quality of masonry and retains elements of a Philibert Delorme style frame.
