The keep with an oblong plan dates from the 15th century, probably constructed by the Arthaud family. At the start of the Renaissance, between the Italian Wars and the Wars of Religion, the castle underwent many drastic alterations. A gallery with an upper floor was built against the western enclosing wall and the tower. At the bottom of the tower a chapel was founded at the beginning of the 16th century. Andr\u00E9 I de la Porte speaks about it in his will in 1517. At the junction of the Renaissance portico with the northern buildings, a spiral staircase was installed in the 17th century."@en .

Above the chapel, on the first floor, there is a study with an armoured door. This door consists firstly of strongly studded fir, together with a cast iron base, the whole to be opened with a single key. This part of the chapel stored the most valuable goods of the Arthauds. The tower opens to a courtyard through a series of arcades with Italian influences. Italian Renaissance is perhaps the best represented period in the influence of the architecture. The terrace gardens were probably landscaped in the 17th century; today, they serve as a venue for theatre and musical productions."@en . . . . . . . . .
