Only the foundations of the dungeon of the 12th century castle remain, on which the bakery was built. This castle was severely damaged during the Hundred Years War and was rebuilt in the 16th century. At that time, it included a main building with four towers. However, only two of these towers were kept during major 18th century renovations.
