The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Du château du 12e siècle, il ne subsiste plus que les soubassements du donjon sur lesquels la boulangerie a été construite. Ce château, qui a beaucoup souffert pendant la guerre de Cent Ans, a été reconstruit au 16e siècle. Il comprenait alors un corps de logis avec quatre tours. Deux d'entre elles seulement ont survécu dans le remaniement général du 18e siècle.

History
Of the 12th-century château, only the foundations of the keep remain on which the bakery was built. This château, which suffered greatly during the Hundred Years' War, was rebuilt in the 16th century. It then comprised a main dwelling with four towers. Only two of them survived in the general remodelling of the 18th century.
