Fortified site of the High Middle Ages, ruined by the fighting of 1918. Entirely rebuilt from 1923 to 1928 by Henri Jacquelin, Norman architect from Evreux (Eure), who created the ultimate "troubadour" château of Lorraine, a pastiche which takes up a few vestiges of the 11th century. The whole was financed by an American benefactress, Miss Belle Skinner.
