The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Manoir du 15e siècle typiquement périgourdin. Il a conservé une allure pittoresque avec ses deux corps de logis en retour d'équerre, dont l'un est accosté d'une tour hexagonale. Sur la façade nord, les fondations plus anciennes ainsi que les caves voûtées en arc datent probablement du 13e siècle.

History
Manor house of the 15th century, typically Périgord in style. It has retained a picturesque appearance with its two main dwellings in a right-angled return, one of which is flanked by a hexagonal tower. On the north façade, the older foundations as well as the barrel-vaulted cellars probably date from the 13th century.
