The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Manoir dont le corps de logis barlong est défendu aux angles par quatre échauguettes en encorbellement sur corbeaux. La porte sur cour a conservé sa boiserie cloutée d'époque. Elle est surmontée d'un blason et protégée par une meurtrière percée au-dessus de l'axe médian. 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.

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.
