Route d'Argenton

Few of the first two châteaux remain. The first was built by Eudes de Cluis in the 13th century, while the second dates from the end of the Middle Ages, rebuilt under the orders of the Gaucourts in the 15th century. The fortress, with its big tower and its two enclosures, remained thus, inhabited and maintained, until the Revolution. At the end of the 18th century, the building was taken over as we know it today. In the meantime, almost the entire enclosure has disappeared to give a much more open building. The site now lives other than by its heritage but relies on its character.

In 1369, during the Hundred Years' War, Aymery de Castres and Belleassez de Magnac, lords of Cluis-Dessus have the weakness to « hold the part of the English ». Charles V withdraws them the lordships of Cluis-Dessus and Bouesse, and gives them successively on the one hand Guy II of Chauvigny and on the other hand Guy de la Trémoille. Charles de Gaucourt serves the kings Charles VII and Louis XI. He was a friend of Louis de Culant, companion in arms of Joan of Arc, and had to fight with them. He was then made Lieutenant-General and Governor of Paris and the region of France, advisor and Chamberlain to the King. He bought back the seigneuries of Bouesse and Cluis-Dessus in 1462.
