The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château devait autrefois être constitué par deux tours rondes encadrant un corps de logis. Il fut sans doute modifié lors de l'ajout du pavillon et de l'aile plus basse, au 18e siècle. Une des tours rondes a été supprimée. Le corps de logis a perdu ses meneaux et a été aménagé au goût du 18e. La tour ronde restante a été comprise dans la construction du pavillon du 18e, qui lui est accolé. Une aile comprenant un rez-de-chaussée et des mansardes continue le pavillon en retrait.

History
The castle must formerly have been constituted by two round towers framing a main dwelling. It was doubtless modified when the pavilion and the lower wing were added in the 18th century. One of the round towers was removed. The main dwelling lost its mullions and was arranged to the taste of the 18th century. The remaining round tower was incorporated into the construction of the pavilion of the 18th century, which is attached to it. A wing comprising a ground floor and mansards continues the pavilion, set back.
