History
Of Gallo-Roman origin, the castle is an old fief subject to the barony of Preuilly, which bore, in the 13th century, the name of Fons Balderici. The present building was entirely rebuilt in the 19th century and presents itself as a rectangular pavilion whose construction was completed in 1830. A small building breaks the arrangement of the rear façade.
