The more recent history of the Château:
In the 1940s, the château opened its doors to one hundred jewish orphans who left poignant traces of their stays through sosme preserved drawings on the whitewashed walls.
60 years later a large delegation commemorated this wartime gesture by the family, to which the Château still belongs, by placing a remembrance plaque on one of the walls of the property.
