The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La partie la plus ancienne remonterait au 15e siècle. La chapelle et la tour polygonale datent du 16e siècle. Le reste de l'édifice a été reconstruit au 19e siècle. La tour polygonale semble avoir toujours été placée telle qu'elle est par rapport au corps de logis. Elle est elle-même flanquée d'une tourelle d'escalier polygonale. Des communs devaient exister un peu plus à l'ouest, s'appuyant à une courtine, mais le tout a été abattu. La courtine sud, percée de deux portes, aboutit, à gauche, à une grosse tour polygonale et, à droite, à la chapelle.

History
The oldest part dates back to the 15th century. The chapel and the polygonal tower date from the 16th century. The remainder of the building was rebuilt in the 19th century. The polygonal tower appears always to have been placed as it is in relation to the main dwelling. It is itself flanked by a polygonal stair turret. Outbuildings must have existed a little further to the west, leaning against a curtain wall, but all of it was demolished. The southern curtain wall, pierced by two doors, ends, on the left, at a large polygonal tower and, on the right, at the chapel.
