Located on a rocky outcrop, the castle of Cluis-Dessous occupied a strategic position. In the 12th century, the keep is the oldest part of the building. The curtain wall, slightly more recent (12th-13th century), is typical of Plantagenêt architecture. The house, which dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, is only partially preserved.
