Historique
Vestiges féodaux des 14e et 15e siècles. A la Révolution, le château est vendu en l'an III. Le général Colomb veut en faire une base pour lutter contre les contre-révolutionnaires très actifs dans la région, mais l'édifice est tellement délabré que le commandant de la garnison doit demander le retrait des troupes. Au 19e siècle, la dégradation se poursuit et le château, partiellement reconstruit, sert d'exploitation agricole. £L'édifice apparaît constitué de deux corps de logis parallèles reliés par une courtine qui délimite une cour intérieure. Chaque corps de logis est flanqué d'une grosse tour sur son angle Est. Sur l'angle nord-ouest a été ajouté ultérieurement un autre corps de bâtiment approximativement carré. Au rez-de-chaussée de la tour nord-est est aménagée une chapelle voûtée d'ogive avec clef de voûte.

History
Feudal vestiges from the 14th and 15th centuries. At the Revolution, the castle is sold in year III. General Colomb wishes to make it a base for fighting against the counter-revolutionaries very active in the region, but the building is so dilapidated that the commander of the garrison must request the withdrawal of troops. In the 19th century, the deterioration continues and the castle, partly rebuilt, serves as an agricultural holding. The building appears to consist of two parallel main dwellings linked by a curtain wall which delimits an interior courtyard. Each main dwelling is flanked by a large tower on its eastern angle. On the north-west angle another building, approximately square, was added later. On the ground floor of the north-east tower a chapel with rib vault is fitted out, with vault boss.
