Description
A small fortified castle, was constructed during the second half of the 15th
century and in the beginning of the 16th by three generations of a family of
notables from Blois. The imposing matriculated entrance curtain wall, the
fortified postern, the fat tower and the keep, all constructed toward 1475,
contrast with the picturesque charm of the small internal courtyard, two sides
of which are surrounding by dwellings. The two doors with accolades above them
are surmounted by well-made, carved, Gothic pediments. In the beginning of the
16th century, on the fourth side of the courtyard, a gallery with segmental
arches was added. It was inspired by Louis XII arcades in the château of Blois.
In the same period, the castle was brought into line with current tastes by
adding Renaissance carved components, particularly pillars topped by capitals
and foliage.
