History
Barrier came under, in the 14th century, the seigniory of Grignols. The castle presents a large dismantled tower and a body of Renaissance building which was destroyed, in large part, by a fire at the end of the 19th century. The keep is crowned with a machicolated parapet on corbels, between which are carved Renaissance shells.
