Historique
Edifice de la fin du 15e siècle, occupé au 19e siècle par une fonderie dont les bâtiments industriels, construits sous le château, ont disparu. A la fin du 19e siècle, le domaine est réoganisé pour l'agrément et le château restauré. La partie arrière de l'édifice est neuve. Les tours de la façade sud, la façade Est avec son chemin de ronde, et ses deux tourelles en encorbellement sont anciennes. Le parc, dessiné à l'anglaise, s'orne de statues de fonte provenant de l'ancienne fonderie Ducel.

History
Building from the late 15th century, occupied in the 19th century by a foundry whose industrial buildings, constructed beneath the château, have disappeared. At the end of the 19th century, the domain is reorganised for leisure and the château restored. The rear part of the building is new. The towers of the south façade, the east façade with its wall-walk, and its two corbelled turrets are ancient. The park, laid out in the English style, is adorned with cast-iron statues from the old Ducel foundry.
