From this time, splendid monumental chimneys, spiral staircases, superb carved waste-gas mains were added. In the course of the XIXth century it becomes a farm, the sudden castle full of modernizations and then destruction and abandonment. Since 1984 it takes again life thanks to the building sites organized by l'Association de Sauvegarde du Chateau de la Prune-au-Pot et l'Association Chantier Histoire et Architecture Medievale.
