Discover the medieval castle, its history, its architecture with a guide.
From the twelfth century the keep of incredible originality, well deceives its world: behind its smooth and proud walls is revealed the beautiful carved decoration of a Romanesque room topped with a dome. Upstairs, the twelve radiant niches decorated with grimacing foliage and heads support the twelve stone ribs that support a dome vault with a central oculus.
Not forgetting the south wing with the 14th century room converted into a historic room and upstairs the three rooms forming the Renaissance apartment.
