Ruins of a castle of XIIIe century. One can notice there: a double ditch, directed in the east, partially cut in the rock, protecting the castle with properly spoken which presents a layout quadangulaire. On the other hand, a second ditch is cut completely in the rock, and bars the western access of the site castral. Besieged by the truck drivers in the neighborhoods of 1346 which ravageaint then the area, this castle was besieged, taken and was dismantled by the troops of Louis XI, with the courses of the wars of Burgundy, about 1479. Nowadays, weak are the vestiges because of recovery of materials by the close villagers. It is all the same possible to distinguish the vestiges from the western curtain, the tower of south-western angle which beat the ditch, the ploughed up cellars of the keep, the cistern completely cut in the rock.
