The castle from the 15th century was acquired, during the siege of Guise, from René de Bar by John II, Count of Ligny, supporter of the Burgundians, who besieged the fortress and captured it after three weeks. A few years later, Joan of Arc was imprisoned there: an engraved stone found in the XIXth century recalls the event. During the Revolution, the castle became the property of Joseph Godard, who married his daughter, a cousin of Camille Desmoulins, to Beaubouchez.^[3]
