Built by the architect Jean-Baptiste Mansart de Jouy, grandson of Jules Hardouin-Mansart, for the Marquis de Verneuil from 1743 to 1756; This sumptuous and powerful castle boasts a grandiose architecture dominated by a large imperial dome reminiscent of those later of the Military School (By Ange-Jacques Gabriel) or the Palais de Justice in Paris (by Jacques-Denis Antoine). This statutory architecture built on the occasion of the erection of the property into a marquisate in 1746, neighbors the powerful medieval keep of the 15th century.
