The castle houses a memorial and an associated museum to commemorate its use as a prisoner-of-war camp for allied officers. In addition to the architecture, there is also a lot of history to discover.

The magnificent Renaissance castle has a multifaceted and sometimes horrific history: it was first mentioned in a marriage certificate from 1046. At that time, King Henry III. the castle of his wife Agnes of Poitou. In later centuries it was used as a hunting lodge, a farmhouse for beggars and tramps, and a sanatorium for the hereditary and mentally ill.
