Since the 11th century, this place has always had a defensive position and structure. On the remains of the medieval structure, this castle was built from the 1600s and, as you see it today, from the 1850s. The buildings house stables, a wine press and a bakery, among other things. The castle park, which once covered hundreds of hectares, covers only 20 today and is a classified ornithological reserve.

The house was built around 1750. At that time, a beautiful English park with gardens was created. It no longer exists today, but the green space that one crosses to access the house is still a peaceful part of nature to enjoy.
