Tips from the Community
The exact date of construction of the castle is not known. However, the parish register mentions in 1694 "the presence at a baptism of the lady-in-waiting of Madame de Combes de Lys, wife of Claude César de Combes, owner of the castle". The monument consists of a central building body surrounded by two wings. The construction is made of bricks and stones, some of which are molded. The entrance porch is guarded by two terracotta lion sculptures. Nicolas Charles Millon, born at the castle in 1798, was the great-grandfather of the writer Henry Millon de Montherlant.

From 1910 onwards, the French tyre manufacturer Michelin (also known for its road maps or the awarding of stars to restaurants for exceptional cuisine) was looking for a way to provide specific information to drivers at intersections. The idea was a corner bollard (French name: Borne d'Angle), on which the directions of travel and distances to towns could be indicated centrally. The Borne d'Angle was intended to focus the driver's attention at the intersection. The Michelin traffic signs have now almost completely disappeared from French streets. Their removal is currently being pushed further. A few examples have survived the test of time in places that are difficult to access, particularly where they are not a safety concern or where there are difficulties in removing them.

Only vestiges of the medieval fortress remain and the current castle was built at the beginning of the 18th century. It is composed of two wings at right angles with two floors surmounted by attics and a hipped roof. The entrance porch and the bastion surrounding the courtyard of the town hall are said to be the oldest parts.
