The damage was such that sixty years after, the castle was still half ruined. A deed of 4 January 1582, shows the castle belonged to Claude de Bouillé, Seigneur of Bourgneuf. He sold the castle in the same year to Roland de Gourfaleur for the price of 1150 écus, a small sum which was justified “because the said castle is at present badly damaged and ruined, inhabited and in need of repair”.
