The construction of this castle, one of the most important in the region, began in 1404. There remains from this period the battlement with battlements and machicolations, accessible to visitors. You have to climb to observe the footprint left, according to legend, by the fairy of Argouges ... and above all to discover the magnificent panorama. The pavilions at each corner date from the end of the 16th century, the main buildings from the 18th. They were rebuilt after a violent fire as well as the stables built at the same time. The site, restored after the bombing in 1944, is listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. The castle houses the town hall and the prehistoric museum in its basement. The 17th century park is attributed to Le Nôtre. There remains a beautiful perspective of trees more than a hundred years old, at the back of the house.
