Manor house of the 15th century with a rectangular plan, flanked by two towers at the north corner and at the west corner, and a staircase tower in the middle of the south-east façade. This building has the particularity of being built on a rocky hillock, outcropping at the foot of the staircase tower. A terrace has been built to make up for a change in level and a retaining wall is still visible to the south-east. Inside, in the large room located on the ground floor, there is a monumental fireplace whose mantelpiece is decorated with mouldings in high relief.
