The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Château féodal de la fin du 12e siècle. Sur la face sud, un grand corps de logis et quatre grosses tours occupent les angles s'avançant en saillie. A l'angle nord-ouest du château se dresse une grosse tour construite au début du 16e siècle. Ce château a terriblement souffert de la guerre de 1914-1918 et les ruines sont impressionnantes. Une campagne de restauration a eu lieu en 1981.

History
Feudal castle of the late 12th century. On the south face, a large main dwelling and four large towers occupy the angles projecting as buttresses. At the north-west angle of the castle stands a large tower built in the early 16th century. This castle suffered terribly from the 1914-1918 war and the ruins are impressive. A restoration campaign took place in 1981.
