The castle was built in the 14th century and remodelled in the 15th and 16th centuries. According to Victor Moreau, a window now hidden by vegetation bears the date 1585. Remains of the castle include the lower court, the keep and the gatehouse. It has been listed since 1970 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
According to M. Colas, in around 1786, Jacques de la Ferté-Meun partially demolished the castle to build the Château de Solières or Saulières in the canton of Château-Chinon[1] in the village of Saint-Péreuse.[2]
