History
16th-century manor composed of two square towers forming avant-corps, connected to the main body by walls to which stairs are attached leading to the tower storeys, forming an inner courtyard. Partly filled moats surrounded the manor. The interior, entirely vaulted, is decorated in Louis XIII style, the dining room is ornamented with paintings. Formerly, a vast garden framed by orchards and poplars surrounded the château, but this section was entirely subdivided into plots.
