The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Château mentionné à l'état de ruine dans les textes de 1471, état confirmé par des écrits de 1646-1648. Il semble que cet abandon soit dû à une nouvelle évolution du village dès la Renaissance. Le site, occupé de façon certaine du 12e au 14e siècle, a laissé très peu de traces de sa vie.

Castle mentioned in a state of ruin in texts of 1471, a state confirmed by writings of 1646-1648. It appears that this abandonment is due to a new development of the village from the Renaissance onwards. The site, certainly occupied from the 12th to the 14th century, has left very few traces of its occupation.
