The chateau's keep, built at the end of XIIth century was later enhanced by a strong defensive enclosure with towers.
The chateau was restored around 1560 by Honorat de Savoie, a loyal lord to the Kings of France. The arcaded gallery built during the wars of religion around the main courtyard shows the care devoted to this restoration.
Walking back through its central arch you can't help but get a feeling of times gone by.
There are good views of the village from the chateau grounds.
