History
The fief came under Le Plessis-les-Tours in the 15th century and, later, under the château of Tours. The château was partially demolished in 1838. Of the destroyed château there remain two towers to the north and south-west, and another which stood to the north-east. On the ground floor of the northern tower was arranged a small oratory of which remains of painting survive. The dovecote, a large cylindrical tower, still visible in 1949, has since disappeared. The park was subdivided in 1974.
