The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce manoir devait être, à l'origine, un pavillon de chasse relevant du fief de l'ancienne famille de Cugnac. C'est un petit édifice de type « chartreuse » comportant un corps de bâtiment central, de plan rectangulaire, du 17e siècle, aux extrémités duquel furent ajoutés au 18e siècle deux pavillons formant retour sur la façade principale. En façade, trois grandes portes-fenêtres à arc surbaissé occupent la hauteur du bâtiment. Les combles sont éclairés par des lucarnes ovales encadrées de courbes supportant un fronton circulaire terminé par un pot à feu. Une terrasse, dont l'accès se fait par un escalier, s'étend sur le devant de la maison, entre les pavillons.

History
This manor was originally intended to be a hunting lodge dependent on the fief of the former Cugnac family. It is a small building of the "chartreuse" type comprising a central building body, of rectangular plan, from the 17th century, at the ends of which two pavilions were added in the 18th century forming a return on the main façade. On the façade, three large French doors with a segmental arch occupy the full height of the building. The roof space is lit by oval dormers framed by curves supporting a circular pediment topped by a finial. A terrace, access to which is gained by a staircase, extends in front of the house, between the pavilions.
