Built in the 15th century, on either side of the old path called "de Charlemagne" which went from Chantonnay to Sigournais. The mansion comprises 2 pavilions 30-40m apart, pierced with vaulted porches and spanning the municipal road. Part of this manor was burnt down during the vendée wars. Today, the castle offers guest rooms.

This set (laundry and fountain) is also complete with a drinking trough. These monuments are dated from the 18th century. An overflow system supplies the various basins. At the wash house, the water flows through a small channel. The surplus is then collected in tanks. It is used to water the hundred plots that make up the "lower gardens". These gardens belonged to inhabitants who did not have enough land to own an orchard or vegetable garden adjacent to their property.

Using moats and fortifications from the 11th century, this castle was built in the 15th century. It has long belonged to the Châteaubriand family from which the famous writer descends. In 1757, the Count of Beauharnais, Joséphine's grandfather, bought the estate, which he sold in 1817.
