This castle was built in 1634 by Nicolas TILLON, master mason of Richelieu. The main building was bought in 1840 and then sold by the stone. Fortunately, the Orangerie building avoided such a fate. Its gardens and interiors are open to events and free to the public.

An impressive large rock formation. She would be the subject of a legend about the death of a young woman, the lady, whose body would rest under a slab of stone visible along the stream.

The site is a schist island where there is a jagged rock dominating the valley which more or less resembles a human face: "La Dame de Chambrille". Picnic tables and walking trails.
