Built and destroyed many times, what remains from this building dates mainly from the beginning of the 17th century. In the middle of a pretty public park of 7 hectares, the castle has a lot of outbuildings like stables and an orangery. In 2009, after all these years of speculation, greed and stubbornness, the only verdict for the neglected castle was destruction. They say there was no way back. But when looking back, this place deserved a better fate !
