Saze Castle dates back to the 12th century, but its current appearance is Renaissance. After a fire during the Wars of Religion in 1560, the building was rebuilt in that era's style: two wings in an L-shape, a square staircase tower marking the entrance dated 1589, and an open gallery facing south. The interiors were enhanced in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly with fireplaces and stucco ornaments.
