The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Dans le tympan de la porte classique du 17e siècle, un casque de sénéchal confirme la tradition qui dénomme ainsi cette demeure. Cette maison se compose d'un corps de logis du 15e siècle dont les rampants en pierre sont ornés de crochets. Les meneaux des fenêtres ont disparu. Un corps de logis carré du 17e siècle lui fait suite. Une terrasse bordée par une balustrade du 17e siècle, domine les fossés, base de la maison talutée. Dans la cour d'entrée, sur l'autre façade près de l'entrée du château, tour à pans. Deux tourelles en encorbellement, dont une date du 19e siècle. Communs du 17e siècle.

In the tympanum of the classical door of the 17th century, a seneschal's helmet confirms the tradition which thus names this dwelling. This house comprises a main dwelling of the 15th century whose stone gables are ornamented with crockets. The mullions of the windows have disappeared. A square main dwelling of the 17th century follows it. A terrace bordered by a 17th century balustrade overlooks the ditches, base of the talus house. In the entrance courtyard, on the other facade near the castle entrance, a timber-framed tower. Two corbelled turrets, one of which dates from the 19th century. 17th century outbuildings.
