A motte-and-bailey castle was built in the 10th century to protect against Viking raids. The castle was located on a promontory overlooking the Eure River. The castle was fortified with a stone keep and ramparts. Philippe de Dreux, bishop-count of Beauvais, destroyed the castle in the 12th century. It was later rebuilt and strengthened.
