The record follows the site from the castrum attested in 1095 to the Villequier château built between about 1450 and 1500, of which two wings survive around a square court some forty metres across: the south wing with its gatehouse facing the bridge, and the west wing founding its thirty metres of elevation in the bed of the river. A third wing to the north, perhaps a portico, gave onto the château’s gardens. After the damage of 1794, restoration began in 1829; the entrance was moved to the north, and visitors arrived through a landscape park planted around 1830–1831. The façades and roofs were listed in 1944.
