Very beautiful castle not directly visible from the road and therefore possibility of missing it.

Raised at the end of the 15th century, the castle was re-drilled in the 17th century. It looks like a long building flanked at the four corners by circular towers. A median precedes it to the east. Dry ditches on a square plan surround it. The entrance gate has two Louis XIII pillars, brick and stone in alternating courses. Each end of this gate is marked with square entrance pavilions.££In 1562, Louis de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, was held prisoner there by the Duke of Guise after the Battle of Dreux. Catherine de Medici and the members of the king's government came to visit the prisoner to try to negotiate peace, obtaining from this prince that he had the Huguenots lay down their arms.

Construction periods:
15th century, 17th century.
