History

Strong-house of the 15th century (1461), transformed into a pleasure house in the 17th century (date of 1655 engraved). At the Revolution, destructions including the loss of the two towers and the dovecote. Modifications to the building in the 19th century (1829 by Baron Richerand; 1867 by the contractor Chaboux). The present castle, of U-shaped plan, is composed of two building blocks. The north façade is flanked by two towers and pierced in the 17th century by a monumental rusticated gateway. The two other façades date from the 19th century and are marked by the neo-Gothic style. Inside, a room on the north ground floor still possesses a door as well as a fireplace that would date from the 15th century. The rest of the building testifies to a 19th-century arrangement.
