Description

Rest of an old castle, the tower dates back to the 13th century. It is erected in river pebbles and measures almost twenty meters in height. A narrow door is in the south. However, an opening to the north, with a semicircular arc and at the level of the first floor, would be the original door. Inside, a oak staircase gives access to the upper platform, which is overlooked by a brick arc.
