La cour est fermée par des bâtiments renforcés aux angles de tours rondes, au centre par une bretèche couverte avec des mâchicoulis creusés en rigole. Dans les murs des tours, meurtrières à couleuvrine.

History
Manor whose oblong main dwelling is defended at the angles by four corbelled machicolated watch-towers. The courtyard door has retained its nailed woodwork of the period. It is surmounted by a coat of arms and protected by a loophole pierced above the central axis. The courtyard is closed by buildings reinforced at the angles with round towers, in the centre by a covered bretèche with machicolations cut as gutters. In the walls of the towers, loopholes for cannons.
