The castle, symbolized by the Bermond tower (12th-13th century) was transformed into a royal fortress in the 13th century under Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis. The buildings were transformed over the centuries following the civil wars between Catholics and Protestants. The remains of the defensive functions of the castle are still visible: tower, gate, loopholes, rampart and dwelling. Impressive spiral staircase leading to the top of the keep of 25 meters. View of the city and the valley of Vidourle.
