Chateau de Lassay is a 15th century castle whose predecessor was built in the 12th century and its end was due to the fact that the lord of the castle was a supporter of England and the castle was sacked by the French during the Hundred Years War.

The castle dominates the village and the pond. It has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1862.
Built in its current form in 1458, it retains its eight towers, its curtain walls, its exceptional barbican with three firing stages and its two drawbridges still in operation. It constitutes a remarkable example by its homogeneity and its state of conservation of French military architecture of the Middle Ages.
