The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Les éléments les plus anciens remontent au début du 14e siècle, à savoir la base de tous les murs du château, les deux premiers étages des tours de la Porte et une partie de la tour octogonale. Au 15e siècle, l'emploi d'armes nouvelles entraîna une évolution du système défensif, les embrasures succédant aux meurtrières. Le 16e siècle se retrouve dans une salle voûtée située à droite de la Porte, peut-être l'ancienne chapelle selon certains archéologues. Au début du 19e siècle, d'importants travaux furent réalisés, modifiant certains aspects du château, avec des appartements Empire.

The oldest elements date back to the early 14th century, namely the base of all the castle walls, the first two storeys of the towers of the Gate and part of the octagonal tower. In the 15th century, the use of new weapons led to an evolution of the defensive system, embrasures succeeding loopholes. The 16th century is found in a vaulted hall situated to the right of the Gate, perhaps the former chapel according to some archaeologists. At the beginning of the 19th century, important works were carried out, modifying certain aspects of the castle, with Empire apartments.
