With its square layout, four corner turrets, interior courtyard, and former protective moats, this site retains all the essence and power of medieval architecture. Passing through the illustrious hands of the Sully, Lévis, Castelpers, and then Raymond families, it was the scene of significant historical episodes, including a siege by the Protestants in 1570. The military line of Raymond de Lasbordes resided there until 1776.
