The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château est mentionné dès le 14e siècle. La demeure était primitivement entourée de fossés en eau. L'édifice a conservé un aspect de forteresse, avec quatre tours rondes munies de meurtrières, aux quatre angles du quadrilatère formé par les bâtiments sans doute moins importants à l'origine. Un corps de logis probablement construit au début du 17e siècle, est flanqué de deux ailes en retour d'équerre, délimitant une cour intérieure fermée à l'est par un mur autrefois fortifié. A l'intérieur, la tour nord-ouest a conservé à l'étage une coupole.

History
The castle is mentioned as early as the 14th century. The dwelling was originally surrounded by water-filled moats. The building has retained the aspect of a fortress, with four round towers equipped with loopholes, at the four angles of the quadrilateral formed by the buildings which were probably less substantial originally. A main dwelling probably built in the early 17th century is flanked by two wings in right-angle return, delimiting an interior courtyard closed to the east by a wall formerly fortified. Inside, the north-west tower has retained a dome at the upper level.
