Historique
Ce château aurait été une construction royale datant du 13e siècle, troisième maillon de l'implantation royale dans la vallée de l'Aveyron. Au 15e siècle, l'édifice subit une mise au goût du jour. Destruction partielle et pillages durant la Révolution. En 1845, l'édifice est vendu par lot, après l'abandon du projet de le transformer en prison. La majeure partie fut démolie. L'édifice présentait un plan quadrangulaire flanqué de quatre tours rondes et entouré de fossés. L'ensemble a été arasé. A l'intérieur est encore visible la cave voûtée, aujourd'hui à ciel ouvert, sur laquelle avait été édifié le logis du 15e siècle.

History
This château would have been a royal construction dating from the 13th century, third link in the royal establishment in the valley of the Aveyron. In the 15th century, the building underwent modernisation. Partial destruction and plundering during the Revolution. In 1845, the building is sold by lot, after abandonment of the project to transform it into a prison. The greater part was demolished. The building presented a quadrangular plan flanked by four round towers and surrounded by ditches. The whole was razed. Inside is still visible the vaulted cellar, today open to the air, on which the main dwelling of the 15th century had been built.
