The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le chemin de ronde qui faisait le tour de la demeure a disparu dans la partie où la charpente a été surbaissée, mais les corbeaux demeurent. Partout ailleurs il est intact. La grosse tour ronde coiffée en poivrière contient l'escalier. Une échauguette d'angle subsiste, sur encorbellement. L'angle opposé conserve les traces d'une autre échauguette. Les mâchicoulis sont sculptés de trèfles. L'intérieur conserve des cheminées du 16e siècle aux piédroits sculptés.

History
The walk way which went around the dwelling has disappeared in the part where the roof structure was lowered, but the corbels remain. Everywhere else it is intact. The large round tower topped with a pointed roof contains the staircase. A corner turret survives, on corbelling. The opposite corner retains the traces of another turret. The machicolations are carved with trefoils. The interior retains 16th-century fireplaces with sculpted jambs.
