Editorial reading
The lordship belonged to the bishopric of Orléans and held rights of high, middle and low justice. The château, moated and restored in the eighteenth century, is two buildings at right angles with a well in the inner court, once closed by a third building of which the footings of a fourth tower remain; a vaulted tower with an oubliette may date from the twelfth century. A wrought-iron gate from the cathedral of Meaux closes the inner court. The 1970 listing covers the façades and roofs of the château and the postern, and the moats.
