The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le corps de logis rectangulaire est flanqué d'une tour carrée à mâchicoulis du 14e siècle, et d'une tour ronde du 15e siècle. Les fenêtres sont à meneaux cruciformes. Au 17e siècle, une aile basse en retour d'équerre fut bâtie sur la façade ouest. Cette aile est dénommée "de l'évêque" car Monseigneur de Souillac, évêque de Lodève, y avait sa chambre flanquée d'une chapelle aujourd'hui disparue. Symétriquement, une autre aile fut élevée en 1777, avec un porche fait de deux baies en plein cintre qui abritent un escalier de pierre.

History
The rectangular main dwelling is flanked by a square tower with 14th-century machicolations, and a round tower of the 15th century. The windows have cruciform mullions. In the 17th century, a low wing set at right angles was built on the west façade. This wing is called "de l'évêque" because Monseigneur de Souillac, bishop of Lodève, had his chamber there flanked by a chapel now disappeared. Symmetrically, another wing was erected in 1777, with a porch made of two round-arch openings which shelter a stone staircase.
