With a peak dungeon at 25 meters high, this strong castle, better known as Sully Tower, does not pass unnoticed. Now inscribed in the additional inventory of Historic Monuments, this impressive building - from xiie and xve centuries, albeit somewhat in ruins - attracts the fervent medieval history. Its fortifications are as strong as those of the Louvre in Paris thanks to an architectural system leaving the cellar and comprising six alveoli arranged in the wall on the faces exposed to the faces from the outside, thus reinforcing the tower to keep it standing. Rare also for that time: on all three levels there was "heating and water on all floors"! The owner of the site occupies the tower of the reconstructed governor in the late nineteenth century whose walls have thicknesses ranging from 1.50 to 3.50 meters, which changes our modern constructions! A curious sculpture from the xive and xve centuries has a semi-male face and is located on the round tower east. Attractive, it would be inspired by an Indian mystical representation.
