The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La seigneurie, dépendant de la baronnie de Nontron, avait pour seigneurs suzerains les vicomtes de Limoges. Le château est reconstruit vers 1498 par Dauphin Pastoureau, maître de forge à Nontron. Une description de 1730 indique que le château est à trois tours carrées et rondes. En 1888, le donjon, haute tour carrée, n'existe plus. L'édifice actuel se compose de deux corps de logis en retour d'équerre, soudés par une tour polygonale, à mâchicoulis, renfermant l'escalier qui dessert les deux bâtiments. Le logis ouest, rehaussé à la fin du 19e siècle, devait à l'origine posséder un chemin de ronde qu continuait celui de la tour ronde. A l'angle nord-ouest de ce logis s'élève une grosse tour ronde à mâchicoulis ornés de trilobes et portés sur des corbeaux à trois redans.

History
The lordship, depending on the barony of Nontron, had as suzerain lords the viscounts of Limoges. The castle is rebuilt around 1498 by Dauphin Pastoureau, master of the forge at Nontron. A description from 1730 indicates that the castle has three square and round towers. In 1888, the keep, a high square tower, no longer exists. The present edifice is composed of two blocks of main dwelling at right angles, joined by a polygonal tower with machicolations, containing the staircase which serves both buildings. The west main dwelling, raised at the end of the 19th century, was originally meant to possess a wall-walk which continued that of the round tower. At the north-west angle of this main dwelling rises a large round tower with machicolations ornamented with trilobe designs and borne on corbels with three tiers.
