The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Manoir en granit et schiste, se composant d'un bâtiment à deux pièces égales à chaque étage, desservies chacune sur la façade sud par l'escalier à vis d'une tour extérieure qui sert d'entrée à rez-de-chaussée. Selon une habitude fréquente dans la région, la partie haute d'une des tours (sud-est) était aménagée en chambre circulaire. Pour y accéder, une tourelle en encorbellement, greffée dans l'angle de la tour, logeait un escalier latéral.

History
Manor in granite and schist, consisting of a building with two equal rooms on each storey, each served on the south façade by the spiral staircase of an external tower which serves as the entrance at ground level. According to a frequent custom in the region, the upper part of one of the towers (south-east) was fitted out as a circular room. To access it, a corbelled turret, grafted into the angle of the tower, housed a lateral staircase.
