The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le fief fut dans la mouvance des évêques d'Auxerre de la fin du 6e à la fin du 12e siècle. La terre dépendait au 13e siècle des seigneurs de Feins puis, au 14e siècle, des comtes de Sancerre. De 1737 à 1838, le château appartint à la Compagnie du canal de Briare. Détérioré, il fut restauré par le nouveau propriétaire en 1872. Incendié en 1940, il fut à nouveau restauré à partir de 1970. L'enceinte fortifiée polygonale, entourée d'un fossé sec, s'ouvre par un portail d'entrée au nord entre deux tours rondes. Les tours qui occupaient les angles nord-est et nord-ouest subsistent. Celle du nord-ouest a été remontée. A l'est, se trouve une autre tour de flanquement. Celle du nord-ouest, en pierres de taille parementées, avec mâchicoulis et archères, forme donjon. La chapelle castrale du 13e siècle a été agrandie au 19e avant de devenir église paroissiale. La grande aux dîmes, bâtie en pierres de taille, rognons de silex et moellons, est composée d'un rez-de-chaussée couvert de solives en chêne, d'une cave, d'un entresol au-dessus de celle-ci et d'un étage couvert d'une charpente à deux poinçons supportant un toit à quatre pans.

History
The fief was under the authority of the bishops of Auxerre from the late 6th to the late 12th century. The land was dependent in the 13th century on the lords of Feins, then, in the 14th century, on the counts of Sancerre. From 1737 to 1838, the château belonged to the Briare Canal Company. Deteriorated, it was restored by the new owner in 1872. Burned in 1940, it was restored again from 1970 onwards. The polygonal fortified enclosure, surrounded by a dry moat, opens by an entrance gateway to the north between two round towers. The towers which occupied the north-east and north-west angles survive. That of the north-west has been reconstructed. To the east is found another flanking tower. That of the north-west, in dressed stone with machicolations and arrow-slits, forms a keep. The 13th-century castle chapel was enlarged in the 19th century before becoming the parish church. The tithe barn, built in dressed stone, flint nodules and rubble stone, consists of a ground floor covered with oak beams, a cellar, a mezzanine above the latter and a storey covered with a roof structure with two king-posts supporting a hipped roof.
