• Origins: The earliest traces of the château date back to the early 17th century. At that time, the château was a quadrilateral structure surrounded by moats.

• Destruction and reconstruction: The château was destroyed several times over the course of its history. It was notably devastated during the French Revolution and set on fire in 1917 by the German army.
