History
Two square towers are connected by curtain walls which enclosed a village. The south-east tower, square, possessed a staircase housed in a round turret, applied against the north façade. At ground level, to the south, a door with a pointed arch fitted with a portcullis, gave access to a room vaulted with a broken barrel vault.
