The castle became a fortress in the Middle Ages to defend a strategic position on the Allier river and to get a fare from travellers who crossed. Eugène Schneider, the successful entrepreneur renovated his wife’s native village in the medieval local style in the 19th c.The old fortress still maintains five of its 12 or 14 original towers, as well as walls. The castle is surrounded by a flower park in the English style. The garden is notorious for its Chinese bridge and its Turkish pavilion. In the village the Boatmen’s House is located at the place of the old harbour where quarry stones were shipped for the Loire chateaux
