This is what formed the current chateau. but then again, the owners do not remain at the chateau for more than one century, It is then sold to Les Chatillon in the XVIth century, then to les d'Etampes.
After the French revolution the Chateau, uninhabited, falls gentley into ruin due to no maintenance.
