History
Small castle of Gascon Louis XIII style, the greater part of which may be attributed to the late 16th century. The castle is surrounded by a park planted with various species. Outbuildings partially surround the park, one of which is dated 1855. The well of oubliettes is partly preserved, as well as the moats. The four corners of the building are still flanked by their turrets.
