What the French Ministry of Culture records

Le donjon est un beau specimen d'architecture militaire bien conservé, qui faisait partie d'un château construit à la fin du 14e siècle par deux archevêques d'Auch : Arnaud Aubert et Jean Roger, tous deux neveux des papes d'Avignon, Innocent VI et Clément VI. Du château ne subsistent que des débris. Un grand mur de pierre appareillée correspond à un rez-de-chaussée, entresol et étage. Le deuxième étage, avec son couronnement, a disparu. L'étage était éclairé par quelques fenêtres à meneaux analogues à celles du donjon. Subsiste également une tourelle d'escalier sur angle. Derrière le donjon existe un mur percé de trois baies à meneaux avec bancs, qui éclairaient autrefois le premier étage. Ce mur forme le fond d'une importante construciton du 17e siècle. D'autres fragments de murs subsistents dans les constructions modernes.
