The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Château construit en 1547, se composant de deux bâtiments accolés, comprenant chacun un rez-de-chaussée et deux étages. Les combles sont percés de lucarnes Renaissance à croisée de pierre. Deux tours rondes flanquent la façade principale. Une tour polygonale, reliée à la toiture par une petite tourelle circulaire, renferme l'escalier. La tour nord-est aurait été ajoutée au 19e siècle. La porte d'entrée, en arc surbaissé, placée près de la tourelle, est à voussures multiples sculptées, sommée d'une accolade et flanquée de deux pinacles ornés de crochets. Le château possédait autrefois des douves, un pont-levis et une chapelle, aujourd'hui disparus.

History
Castle built in 1547, consisting of two adjoining buildings, each comprising a ground floor and two storeys. The roof spaces are pierced with Renaissance dormers with stone mullions. Two round towers flank the main façade. A polygonal tower, linked to the roof by a small circular tourelle, contains the staircase. The north-east tower is said to have been added in the 19th century. The entrance door, with a depressed arch, placed near the tourelle, has multiple carved voussures, surmounted by a Gothic arch and flanked by two pinnacles decorated with crockets. The castle formerly possessed moats, a drawbridge and a chapel, now disappeared.
