La première partie de la cour d'honneur est exhaussée par rapport au reste, et limitée par une balustrade Louis XIV. A droite, chapelle du 17e siècle. Dans la partie centrale se trouve un pavillon à pans qui pourrait dater du 16e siècle. Les soubassements du château sont antérieurs à la construction. Les caves voûtées sont les témoins du château primitif qui devait remonter au 14e siècle.

Dwelling presenting, on the main façade, an oblong main dwelling body with Mansard roof, framed by two pavilions topped with pyramids. The first part of the courtyard of honour is elevated with respect to the rest, and limited by a Louis XIV balustrade. On the right, 17th-century chapel. In the central part is found a timber-framed pavilion which could date from the 16th century. The foundations of the castle are earlier than the construction. The vaulted cellars are witnesses to the primitive castle which must have dated back to the 14th century.
