History
Feudal ensemble whose foundation dates back to William the Conqueror. A moat surrounded all the castle buildings, of which there remain the entrance postern, part of the main dwelling and the chapel. The constructions can be dated to the 14th and 15th centuries, with some additions from the 16th. The chapel is vaulted with rib vaults. After the Revolution, a large part of the castle was abandoned and then destroyed.
