EXCLUSIVE.
A known fiefdom since the 13th century, this half of the castle was built in the 15th century and modified in the 17th. It comprises two perpendicular wings, both listed as Historic Monuments, connected by a superb polygonal stair turret. Its magnificent Gothic doorway, adorned with pinnacle crockets and surmounted by three niches with canopies and corbels, its finely crafted openings, and the stringcourse of delicately chiseled foliage and animals, make it a true gem. It opens onto an inner courtyard facing east, and its spiral staircase provides access to the upper floors.
