The present castle is from 1440 so although it's named for the Knights Templar, that Order had been dissolved in 1312 after falling out with the King of France. By the 18th century the castle had lost its importance and was dilapidated, to the discomfort of occupying French troops during the Napoleonic wars. It was a ruin until reconstruction from 1924.
