    It is organized around a central courtyard according to a quadrangular plan with circular volumes at the corners.

The history of the castle in the Middle Ages is linked to that of the Cardaillac family, close to the kings of France. The medieval frescoes in the hall of the priests and in the chapel are the jewel of this castle which, another curiosity, has housed the village school since 1889.
