The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château est constitué d'un corps de logis dont la façade principale, aspectée à l'est, date du 16e siècle pour sa partie droite, et du 17e siècle pour sa partie gauche, d'un pavillon datant probablement du 15e siècle abritant l'escalier principal, et enfin d'une galerie, d'un pavillon et d'une aile au nord datant de 1902 et conçus par l'architecte rennais J.-B. Martenot dans un souci d'harmoniser les nouvelles constructions avec la façade principale (restaurations importantes de 1899 à 1902 avec éléments de remploi du château de Cotardais à Médréac).

The château consists of a main dwelling block whose principal façade, facing east, dates from the 16th century for its right part, and from the 17th century for its left part, a pavilion probably dating from the 15th century sheltering the main staircase, and finally a gallery, a pavilion and a wing to the north dating from 1902 and designed by the Rennes architect J.-B. Martenot with a view to harmonising the new buildings with the principal façade (major restorations from 1899 to 1902 with reused elements from the château de Cotardais at Médréac).
