Tips
Fortified castle built in the 13th century, including a vicus and a parish church, which no longer exists, with a fortified wall flanked by towers and a large main building surrounded by towers, resting on a base with a low covered walkway in the sheath in the embankment of the root ball. On the site of this old fortress, reconstruction of the castle in 1661 for Marshal de Clérambault, then modification in the 18th century by the Comte de Pontchartrain. The castle, burnt down in 1793 during the Revolution, has remained in ruins since that time. The interest of this building lies as much in the medieval remains as in those of the 17th century castle.
