It was built at the end of the reign of Philippe Auguste and is the perfect example of the strong castles which succedèrent with the fortresses of the Average age. It does not remain any more with the castle but the imposing postern which defended the principal entry, the walls and the turns of enclosure. However, the situation of this castle at the top of a rock piton, and the importance of these vestiges confer on the unit an impressive majesty. It dominates the low city built around the superb sources of Druyes.
