Visitors also learn a lot about the somewhat complicated history of the chateau and of the nearby fortified castle that was built at the end of the 12th century and can also be visited: turbulent times, betrayals, struggles for independence. The round defensive tower offered good views of the surroundings, from which an attack could be expected at any time.
