The castle was partly destroyed, along with the village, by the Black Prince who came to besiege the neighboring castle of Bourdeilles in 1369. At the end of the 15th century, construction of a main building flanked by an octagonal tower between the two remaining large round towers of the original castle. In 1569, Coligny had 260 peasants who had sought refuge there to protect themselves from the Huguenot armies massacred in a lower room. In 1653, Antoine de Chabans, loyal to the king, besieged the castle to regain possession of the domain that his brothers, supporters of the Prince of Condé, had appropriated. Restored within its walls, the marquis destroyed the fortifications and the drawbridge, built a castle and the stables, and developed the terraces. In the 18th century, a low house was added, adjacent to the main buildings. Other outbuildings close the north side of the interior courtyard, having retained their domestic function. In 1916, lightning destroyed all of the roofs which were not restored.
