History and Architecture+
The castle was successively owned by the Secrestat, David, and Escande families. In the Neo-Renaissance style, it houses remarkable furnishings, including 17th-century wood paneling originating from the Vauclaire Charterhouse. It consists of an east-west oriented main building, flanked on the east by two square towers, all illuminated by mullioned windows. It has been converted into a hotel, restaurant, and holiday apartments.
