This lake was once a swamp area. It became a recreational area between 1981 and 1984. This site is a natural area of ecological, faunal and floristic interest, where we discover vegetation specific to swamps and peat bogs, in particular typical acidophilic plants but also a multitude of invertebrates which are only found in peaty environments: spiders, dragonflies and butterflies including the Sedge Fadet; it is a biotope very favorable to the reproduction of certain amphibians, birds (Harriers, Eurasian Curlew), and mammals (European Otter and European Mink). You can swim, there are slides and boats and kayaks to rent.

The castle retains elements from various periods, including part of the enclosures, a round tower, a square tower, a guard room and underground passages. Since the beginning of the 2000s, each summer, international projects (Solidarités Jeunesses) have made it possible to gradually renovate the castle grounds and preserve this site, converted into a promenade.
