Historique
Château du 18e siècle, édifié par l'architecte Binet, semblant constitué d'une succession de pavillons aux couvertures variées. L'ancien manoir possédait une grosse tour. Le château actuel est entouré d'un parc muré. La façade occidentale comprend un pavillon central, deux corps de bâtiment en retrait et deux ailes saillantes. Au premier étage se trouve un balcon en fer forgé et ouvragé, soutenu par quatre consoles à enroulements et à feuilles d'acanthe. Le deuxième étage est orné d'un grand fronton triangulaire mouluré, décoré d'une rosace accostée de deux rinceaux. Au-dessus s'élève un toit en dôme, percé d'une grande gerbière avec deux consoles renversées et deux chutes de fruits pendues à des anneaux que soutiennent deux têtes de lion. Sur la façade ouest, la construction nord renferme la chapelle de la fin du 18e siècle, qui remplace une chapelle plus ancienne. Son abside est à pans coupés.

History
18th-century château, built by architect Binet, appearing to be composed of a succession of pavilions with varied roof coverings. The former manor possessed a large tower. The current château is surrounded by a walled park. The western façade comprises a central pavilion, two recessed building blocks and two projecting wings. On the first floor is a wrought iron balcony, elaborate and supported by four consoles with scrolls and acanthus leaves. The second floor is decorated with a large moulded triangular pediment, embellished with a rosette flanked by two scrollwork ornaments. Above rises a domed roof, pierced by a large dormer with two inverted consoles and two swags of fruit hanging from rings supported by two lion heads. On the western façade, the northern construction contains the chapel from the end of the 18th century, which replaces an older chapel. Its apse has cut-off corners.
