Guided tour of the park and chapel
The castle, known since 1123, undergoes the hazards of history. Invested by the English then besieged by the Huguenots, it was then sold as a national property at the Revolution. In the 19th century, architect Boyer was given the task of remodeling, and erected a Neo-Gothic chapel between 1856 and 1882\\. Surrounded by a park closed by 18th century gates, the castle consists of a central body with two levels under dormers. On both sides, two nineteenth-century pavilions under a four-slope roof. On the posterior elevation, two half-hors-œuvre towers are topped with peppers. Inside, two living rooms have kept their 18th century woodwork, as well as several bedrooms upstairs. The chapel is arranged around a central square module, surrounded by four rectangular chapels. It is decorated with eleven stained glass windows made in 1856 and 1882, by Lobin de Tours then Fournier.
