Description

Today the chateau and its round towers form a curious pink brick silhouette in the village. Its history goes back to the Romans, who built a farm to supply Rome with wheat. Over the years this farm was fortified then, during the religious wars, it became a fortified castle surrounded by defensive moats. Due to the status of marquisate by Louis XIV, the chateau was abandoned. In 1760 it was extremely deteriorated, and it was decided that the architect Liégeon would be asked to re-build a simple residence, using the same underpinnings, in a similar way to 13th century service quarters. During the revolution, the property was seized then re-bought as national property.
