Le château en bref

Its lower part is vaulted as a dome. According to the Mérimée database entry, it is the only surviving remnant of the former fortified castle of Colomges, and it dates from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. According to the tourist office, a first castle was destroyed during the wars against the English under Charles VII, a second was built about fifty metres away in the fifteenth century, and a third near the church in the seventeenth century, these residences still standing at the end of the following century. The tower, listed as a monument historique by order of 29 February 1988, belongs to the commune and may be visited freely.
