The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le donjon du 13e siècle semble avoir conservé à peu près intactes ses dispositions primitives de défense. Des ouvertures ont été percées aux 14e et 15e siècle. Il serait la première conquête de Duguesclin en 1354. Les parties hautes ont sans doute été arasées par Louis XIV.

History
The 13th-century keep appears to have retained substantially intact its original defensive arrangements. Openings were made in the 14th and 15th centuries. It would be Duguesclin's first conquest in 1354. The upper parts were doubtless razed by Louis XIV.
