The museum is housed in a 12th-century building dominated by a massive four-tower corner keep built in the late 11th century; enclosure built in the 16th and 17th centuries on the site of older courtines. During the Hundred Years War, the castle underwent work of defences and reinforcement of buildings. At the beginning of the 18th century, the castle saw the reconstruction of its towers and the transformation of the keep into artillery work. In the 19th century, the castle served as a barracks.
