Château (ruines) (cad. B 158, 159, 164, 1046) : classement par arrêté du 28 décembre 1984

A significant fortified site whose existence dates back to the 13th century. The remains are found above a meander of the lot. We can still see the central dungeon, the first wall with a round tower and various defense elements, as well as a second wall. Between these two walls, several terraces were fitted out in gardens.
