History
La Renaudie belonged, in the 16th century, to the Calvinist leader Jean du Barry. The plan is that of a strong castle of the 14th century with, at the four corners, towers of unequal size. Inside, a Renaissance tower preserves the two pillars sculpted from a Gothic fireplace and the top of a Renaissance window.
