The publically available information about this castle is sparse.

The tower is the oldest part of the castle and was erected at an unknown point in time, but before 1404. The other parts of the castles were added in 14th and 15th century. It is surrounded by moats on all sides. The last part added to the castle was the quarters (1771).

It was close to be demolished in the French Revolution, because the castle's owners had fled the country, but nobody carried out the demolition order, thus the castle survived until today. In the 1980s it was purchased by a renowned sculptor who renovated it and today it serves as a hotel.
