Le château est de style néo-Tudor, reprenant une tour médiévale et érigé au-dessus des souterrains du XIIIe siècle. En 1979, le château a servi de lieu de tournage pour Tess, un film de Roman Polanski.
Le château actuel fut construit par le comte Philippe Hurepel de Clermont, fils du roi Philippe Auguste, de 1222 en 1231. Prise, reprise, cette forteresse verra passer dans ses murs des troupes françaises, anglaises, bourguignonnes.
En 1615, Marie de Médicis fait assiéger le château par le maréchal d'Ancre car il est alors occupé par les protestants. Il est alors largement détruit et une ferme prend place au milieu des ruines. Il reste encore aujourd'hui les courtines d'origine."
