History
The castle comprises a main dwelling block, flanked by two square pavilions at the north-west and south-west angles. On the east face of this dwelling, a second block is joined at right angles, itself terminated by a third which is perpendicular to it, the whole thus formed presenting an L-shaped plan. The ground floor is reserved for reception rooms. On the main facade, opening onto the honour courtyard, the door is framed by two fluted pilasters which rise to the roof and support a triangular pediment adorned with a motif surrounded by foliage.
