The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château est mentionné dans un acte de vente de 1415. En 1598, les nouveaux propriétaires remanient complètement l'édifice. Au 19e siècle, un incendie dégrade le château. L'édifice repose sur des caves en partie taillées dans le roc. Une tour est visible au sud. Au sud-est, un cul de lampe sculpté supportait une tourelle d'angle en briques démolie. La partie nord était occupée par une tour médiévale.

The castle is mentioned in a deed of sale of 1415. In 1598, the new owners completely remodelled the building. In the 19th century, a fire damaged the castle. The building rests on cellars partly cut into the rock. A tower is visible to the south. To the south-east, a sculptured corbel supported a corner turret in brick that was demolished. The northern part was occupied by a medieval tower.
