Extensively remodeled in the 18th century, this castle steeped in history has medieval origins. It can be visited by appointment. The village of Arthel is also well worth the detour for a bike ride or on foot.

A protected and wild setting of 17 ha. There is a campsite, a sandy beach, and swimming is supervised in July and August. Rental of canoes and kayaks, pedal boats are available for rental. There is also a snack bar open in high season. A nice place for a break.

Do not miss! A special sculpture of a cow placed high above the entrance. Try asking the locals why and how it ended up there...

The house you see today was built in 1722 on the site of the old ruined castle. This older castle was built in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Originally a motte and bailey style castle, but its most notable and colorful history is that of the Second World War. During the war, the castle served as a dairy, but also as a holiday home for Parisian prostitutes and, more importantly, as an arms depot and HQ for the French Resistance.
