This castle and this chapel have a long and interesting history. Like many French architectural sites, it is a mixture of different periods that can be found in the buildings. Dated around 1218, it was destroyed and rebuilt after the Hundred Years War. It was also modified during the 16th century, as you can see enlarged mullioned windows, typical of the Renaissance.

This castle nevertheless has a rather dark past for the region, as it was the base camp of the trucking company during the 100 years war. Gathered under the generic name of large companies, the truckers were neither more nor less than mercenaries living at the expense of the population. It was under the influence of King Charles 7 that a French regular army was created, which put an end to the large companies.
