Redaktionelle Einordnung
The record describes the northern enceinte of the twelfth and fourteenth centuries with four towers and a curtain, the Tour de l’Éperon as a former stair tower, and a southern part of the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. The 2021 listing extends the protection to the remains of the keep, the south and west curtains, the Tour Saint-Lubin, the banks and ditches to the south and north — notably La Montagne — the captain’s house, the powder magazine and the walls of the ramp. The lawns and cedar within the walls are documented by the photograph rather than by the record.
