The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifié au 14e et au 15e siècle, le château n'a subi que des modifications mineures dans ses percements, exception faite de la tourelle élevée au 19e siècle, de style néo-gothique, dans l'angle Est de la cour. Ces transformations, sans doute de la fin du 15e siècle puis du 18e, ont effacé l'aspect militaire et purement médiéval de l'édifice.

History
Built in the 14th and 15th centuries, the castle has undergone only minor modifications in its openings, with the exception of the turret raised in the 19th century, of neo-Gothic style, in the east angle of the courtyard. These transformations, doubtless from the end of the 15th century and then the 18th, have erased the military and purely medieval aspect of the edifice.
