In the tower of this castle, 800 Swiss soldiers were burned alive by French soldiers. After the defeat of Pavia and before being made prisoner, François I found refuge on a farm in the vicinity where a peasant was cooking soup. According to the use of the time, soups were consumed in a bowl with soaked bread.
