The Ministère de la Culture's notice

A l'entrée de l'allée menant au manoir se trouvait la chapelle Sainte-Anne dont il ne reste que les vestiges de murs d'enceinte et la table de l'autel. L'entrée de la cour est formée d'un porche, double arcade en granit, porte cavalière et porte piétonne. A ce portail est accolé un pigeonnier contenant des nids taillés dans la pierre. Le bâtiment principal se dresse au fond de la cour. Dans le bâtiment de droite, un puits a été creusé dans la muraille, sous une arcade saillante accompagnée de deux consoles de granit pour déposer les seaux, et d'une auge pour les animaux. A l'intérieur, le manoir conserve des cheminées aux manteaux de bois sculpté et un escalier de pierre.

At the entrance of the drive leading to the manor stood the chapel of Sainte-Anne of which only the vestiges of walls of enclosure and the altar table remain. The entrance to the courtyard is formed by a porch, double arcade in granite, carriage gateway and foot gateway. To this portal is attached a dovecot containing nests cut in the stone. The principal building stands at the back of the courtyard. In the building on the right, a well has been dug in the wall, beneath a projecting arcade accompanied by two granite consoles to place buckets, and a trough for animals. In the interior, the manor preserves fireplaces with sculpted wooden mantels and a stone staircase.
