The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château remonte au 11e siècle. De cette époque subsiste le donjon qui ne paraît pas avoir été remanié. Il fut brûlé à trois reprises. La légende le dit ancienne commanderie de Malte, ce qui est faux, mais sans doute un des seigneurs fut-il chevalier de Malte. Situé sur un promontoire dominant le Lot, l'édifice a conservé sur sa partie ouest sa silhouette médiévale fortifiée, cantonnée de tours irrégulières circulaires. L'intérieur conserve un escalier gothique en pierre, et une salle voûtée de deux croisées d'ogives dont l'une a une forme particulière afin de permettre l'ouverture de la porte voisine.

History
The château dates back to the 11th century. From this period the keep remains which does not appear to have been altered. It was burned three times. Legend says it is an old commandery of Malta, which is false, but undoubtedly one of the lords was a knight of Malta. Located on a promontory dominating the Lot, the building has retained on its western part its fortified medieval silhouette, flanked by irregular circular towers. The interior preserves a Gothic stone staircase, and a vaulted room with two rib vaults, one of which has a particular form to allow the opening of the nearby door.
