It was rebuilt in the 16th century on older foundations, in a stronghold cited in the 14th century. It consists of ten buildings, including three mills, and a granite and blue stone dovecote with 2,000 balls. Its raison d'être is its positioning on the edge of the old royal path leading to the Hague, where this path moves away from the strike to climb the first cliffs.

The legend attributes its name to a warlike episode during which William the Conqueror would have had his life saved by Robert Le Fort who protected him with his shield (it was then said a shield)
