It is in this castle that the cognac cellars of the Marnier-Lapostolle family are located, used for the production of Grand Marnier cognac.

Castle with a fairly compact architecture, rich in details and various corbels that seem to come out of a Walt Disney story. It doesn't look very well maintained, what a pity!

Still under construction and still closed ..... too bad It seems, from certain particularities, of the parish church of Saint-Pierre, built around the middle of the 14ᵉ century, at the time when the country was under English domination, that it must have been built by them. It forms a rectangle composed of a nave with two crossed warhead bays, a dome surmounted by the bell tower and a rectangular sanctuary. A crypt exists under the sanctuary; but the purpose of this crypt seems to be simply to collect the waters of a fountain which springs under the church and to lead them outside. The monument is entirely vaulted in stone. The dome rests on four double pilasters, whose capitals are extremely graceful. The windows of the nave include two pointed arches set back from each other; the side windows of the sanctuary are two-compartment; the apsidal window is radiant and has three divisions. The facade is very simple; the central door and the two side arches are adorned with graceful moldings. The bell tower is a square tower raised two stories above the vaults. Towards the end of the 15ᵉ century or the beginning of the 16ᵉ century, a side chapel was built to the north, under the bell tower. The arcade, which unites this chapel to the church, bore the following inscription: “Messire Guy de Marueil chevalier and Dame Johanne Dirchillac SA FAe”. A very curious fresco was once seen on the wall of the nave, below the bell tower. It represented the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The building was listed as a historical monument in 1992.
