It was high in XVe
century by Jean II of Rohan. The frontage preserved two grosses
towers at machicolation, capped in pepper plantation, on the four
which the enclosure included/understood. The 20 height meters walls
are bordered of ditches ever put out of water. The home seigneurial,
altered at the XVIIIe century, decorates pediments with cusps and
of a beautiful staircase with double revolution. One visits the
room of the guards, the rooms of the first stage giving on the splendid
covered way, the ducal room with the beautiful ceiling and the vault.
Particularly to notice the armoiriées chimneys of the western
tower. A restoration campaign is course.
