The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Manoir du 18e siècle, à un seul étage, du modèle dit "chartreuse", assez fréquent en Périgord. Le corps de logis est encadré par deux pavillons dont l'un a été postérieurement exhaussé d'un étage. Le toit se relève en son milieu pour éviter la monotonie et rompre la ligne de l'ensemble. Une balustrade sur laquelle reposent deux sphynges accroupies précède le tout.

History
Manor of the 18th century, with a single storey, of the model known as "chartreuse", fairly frequent in Périgord. The main dwelling body is framed by two pavilions, one of which was subsequently raised by a storey. The roof rises at its centre to avoid monotony and break the line of the whole. A balustrade on which rest two crouching sphinxes precedes it all.
