The Chateau de la Madeleine is in a good state of preservation; it was built on the top of a hill and dominates the town. The name comes from the chapel of the castle, dedicated to Sainte Marie-Madeleine.
The castle is open to the public for free. A few rooms are accessible; an exhibition shows the history of the castle.
