The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le repaire de Lascours n'aurait servi de demeure à une noble famille que depuis la fin du 16e siècle. Le manoir se compose d'un corps de logis rectangulaire, flanqué au nord d'une tour ronde coiffée en poivrière et comportant l'escalier à vis, en bois, desservant l'étage supérieur. Au nord, une cour intérieure est délimitée par un mur de clôture et les dépendances. Dans l'angle sud-est de cette tour se situe une tour carrée aménagée. Le château est entouré d'un jardin d'agrément.

The repaire of Lascours is said to have served as a dwelling for a noble family only from the late 16th century. The manor consists of a rectangular main dwelling, flanked on the north by a round tower topped with a cone roof and containing a wooden spiral staircase, serving the upper storey. To the north, an interior courtyard is bounded by a boundary wall and outbuildings. In the south-east angle of this tower is located an arranged square tower. The castle is surrounded by an ornamental garden.
