Very old castle, which was destroyed by the fire in 1978. Constructed of stones from a building in Paris that was also destroyed. Only accessible via a long access road (cars forbidden). At the moment you can neither enter nor visit it. One can only guess what a grandiose view one had here in the past. Today everything overgrown.
