Château built during the Renaissance which belonged in particular to Colbert, the financial controller of Louis XIV.
In 2001, it was divided into 60 apartments by a real estate developer but work stopped due to lack of payment in 2006. In 2015, it was bought lot by lot by the current owners who have since tried to restore it.
The building has been listed as a historic monument since 1926.
