On the street, windows with Renaissance ornaments bearing, on their lintels, the arms of the De Lignat family. In the courtyard, a staircase turret with gallery connecting it to the western main dwelling. On the support of this gallery was sculpted an Annunciation which has been blocked. A fleur-de-lis, still in existence, was placed at the centre, between the Angel and the Virgin. On the first floor of the eastern dwelling, a room retains on a vault key the arms of the De Lignat family joined with a second coat of arms. In the spiral staircase and in the rooms, interesting panelling and door leaves. On the support of the platform of the turret is engraved the date 1586.
