History
Until the Revolution, the tower served as a seigneurial dwelling. This fortified house has retained most of its devices from the 15th century. It is a tower of almost square plan, presenting a defensive apparatus of two arrow slits and a brattice. Inside, the tower has three levels, each consisting of a single room.
