The name of the castle translates to “Castle on the Crest”.
The old castle (the ruin in the foreground) was probably built in the 14th century, though very little information about it is available. It was inhabited by local aristocrats up until the French Revolution when it was severely damaged. Instead of rebuilding the old castle, a new one was erected (in the background) in a pseudo-Renaissance style during the 19th century.
Thanks to this community, I’ve discovered that there are many castles we don’t know the origin of.
Astounding how easily history can slip away when not properly documented.
