The castle was built towards the end of the 11th century by Narduin d'Estrabonne. It has undergone numerous modifications over the centuries. It was its transformation into a farm that would have saved it from ending up in ruins at the time of the Revolution. The castle today retains a beautiful appearance, notably with a keep still worthy of the most beautiful castles.

Don't forget to admire on the other bank, while looking up, the Château Roset-Fluans, already mentioned in texts since the beginning of the 12th century. However, its current architecture dates from the 17th century. It has been listed as a historic monument since 2016.

As there is a rapid at the Doubs, there is a small lock for the boats.
