Fortress built in the mid-11th century, it was rebuilt in the 17th century by the Carmelite monks who founded their monastery there. It became a private house after the revolution and, as the oldest building in the city, was converted into the town hall in the early 20th century.

The old fortress of Malicorne which preceded this castle was founded in the 11th century. It fell into English hands for just over 50 years in the 14th and 15th centuries, but was eventually recaptured. The castle you see now was built in the 18th century on the ruins of the old building.
