The French Ministry of Culture has recognized this property, known as le chateau de Montbrun, as a protected monument since 1947. This historical residence was built in the 11th century and was the property of both England and France during the Hundred Years'War.

There also is a tavern on the grounds that is fit for both kings and queens.
