The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château se compose d'un grand coprs principal de plan en U, à deux niveaux côté sud, et un seul côté nord, adossé à une forte déclivité qui se termine, côté Lot, par une carrière de calcaire. Il manque le retour de l'aile ouest. Des fenêtres en arc plein cintre éclairent le rez-de-chaussée, tandis qu'elles sont rectangulaires à l'étage. Le corps central est surmonté d'un fronton triangulaire. Une double allée de platanes accompagne le château. Quatre piliers supportent un pigeonnier.

History
The château is composed of a large main body of U-shaped plan, with two levels on the south side, and a single level on the north side, backed against a steep slope which ends, towards the Lot, in a limestone quarry. The return of the west wing is missing. Windows in round arch light the ground floor, while they are rectangular on the storey above. The central body is crowned by a triangular pediment. A double avenue of plane trees accompanies the château. Four pillars support a dovecot.
