A “Renaissance” castle entirely made of bricks, where one of the favorites of the court of Henry III, Minister of Finance in exile, and above all an aviation pioneer lived: Hubert Latham landed here in August 1910. Although defenses were present on the site as early as 1383, the construction of the brick castle that we see today by Jean d'O, with its six towers and its chapel, dates back to around 1460. Guided tour of the castle and of the site is available. Adult prices start from 5 euros, the area is open in summer.

On the edge of the Perche, the Senonches castle, whose oldest remains date from the 12th century, had illustrious owners until the Revolution: from the lords of Thimerais to “Monsieur”, brother of King Louis XVI.
