History and architecture
The site is believed to have been an oppidum in Gallic times due to its strategic location. Before the year 1000, a first wooden fortification was established here. In the 11th century, it was transformed into a feudal stronghold with a four-level tower, vaulted cellars and defensive walls.
Severely damaged during the Hundred Years’ War, the château was rebuilt in the 15th century with a seigneurial residence, a chapel, Gothic architectural elements still visible today and various structural additions reflecting the period. A fire in the 17th century led to its destruction once again, followed by a reconstruction in the 18th century, giving it the appearance it retains today.
Once elevated to the rank of viscountcy, the estate was held by seigneurs bearing this title and is said to have hosted distinguished guests, including figures associated with Turenne.
