    The ruins of the Château de la Tour-Blanche dominate the village to the east and peak at 150 m. All that remains of the fortified castle is a large square tower built in white stone, a curtain wall and a secondary tower built on a mound probably replacing a wooden fort

    The Wars of Religion were fatal to the castle in 1569 and during the siege of the city in 1652 during the Fronde.

    The castle was confiscated and sold as national property in 1794.

    The ruins of the castle have been classified as historical monuments since November 20, 1906

    During the night of October 11 to 12, 2015, a fire destroyed the entire inhabited part of the south wing, causing one death

      Castle lost on the outskirts of the city! Old and not visitable
