The castle was built in the 14th century by Henry de Montfaucon, a nobleman who became the Count of Montbéliard. It was destroyed in 1639 by the troops of Louis XIII during the Thirty Years' War. We can still see the remains of the walls, towers and moats that defended this medieval fortress. The castle is located at an altitude of around 1000 meters and offers panoramic views of the valley below.
