The fief is mentioned from 1286. At the site of the present dwelling there existed a noble stronghold. The present house, from the end of the 18th century and completed under the Empire, is accessible on the courtyard side by a monumental porch surrounded by vast stables. The main façade comprises the main dwelling having, around the porch, ashlar decoration and a triangular pediment in the roof. The two pavilions on the courtyard side are joined to the main dwelling by a rounded section.
