Ruins of the 10th century castle built by the Pagan-Retourtour on a rocky promontory, overhanging a loop of the Doux.

These ruins have retained a certain cachet. The vegetation also enjoys climbing this building and consolidating its stones, the solidity of which should always be checked after heavy rains. Built on a rocky promontory, overhanging a loop of the Doux, the castle was built in the 10th century by one of the local families, the Pagan-Retourtour. Quarrels of succession in the 14th century are probably at the origin of the ruin of the castle. It is said that at the beginning of the 18th century, a small brigand lord lived there and ransacked the area.
