A retraction cylinder (20) makes it possible to retract a leg (10) of a rotorcraft landing gear, the retraction cylinder (20) comprising a retraction chamber (33) and an extension chamber (34) separated by a head (26) of a piston (25), the piston (25) sliding in a cylindrical sheath (35). In addition, the retraction cylinder (20) comprises a return element (23) and a control chamber (22) furnished with a first fluid, this control chamber (22) being separated from the return element (23) by a movable release member (24), the movable release member (24) sliding so that the retraction cylinder (20) fulfils a damping function when a control pressure exerted by the first fluid on the movable release member (24) is greater than a return pressure exerted by the return element (23).
