The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château appartint au 13e siècle à la famille de Bruniquel, puis à celle de Latour au 16e siècle. Le château primitif ayant été détruit par le duc de Vendôme peu après 1622, l'édifice actuel fut reconstruit après cette date sur ses anciennes fondations. Malgré l'allure féodale de ses trois tours, le château est une gentilhommière Louis XIII avec quelques remaniements du 18e siècle. La construction est en briques foraines apparentes avec quelques éléments décoratifs en pierre. La chapelle gothique a été remaniée au 19e siècle.

The castle belonged in the 13th century to the family of Bruniquel, then to that of Latour in the 16th century. The primitive castle having been destroyed by the Duke of Vendôme shortly after 1622, the present building was rebuilt after this date on its old foundations. Despite the feudal appearance of its three towers, the castle is a Louis XIII gentleman's residence with some 18th century alterations. The construction is in exposed foreign bricks with some decorative stone elements. The gothic chapel was remodelled in the 19th century.
