This castle (not always clearly visible due to the vegetation) dates back to the 16th century. It is located overlooking the Ferrières stream. It is no longer in good condition following landslides that occurred during the 19th century. The building is, however, listed as a historic monument by decree of February 16, 1929.

The granite building was restored at the end of the 20th century by Bâtiments de France and classified as a Historic Monument since 1926, as were the crypts under the chapel. The Chapel is open to the public every day, from Easter until All Saints' Day, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who, after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" outside Rome, recognized Christianity as a religion and in 312 the long time of persecution ended with the Milan “Tolerance Edict”). In the early fourth century she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics from there to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The Church celebrates the feast of the discovery, presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross – called “Exaltation of the Cross” – on September 14th.

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this church is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven. The memorial day of John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
