The castle

 

The interior court forms a remarkable trapezoid with its splendid roof in gênoise, very typical of the country.

History
Description

   

The interior of the court is formed as the Roman impluvia with a central drain which collects all rainwater, brings back them then inside, towards the well, which is used as receptacle for water which feeds the castle.

 

The castle recalls by its court the arcades of the Place of the Vosges built about about the same time (the place of the Vosges goes back to 1607 and the castle of 1610).
