The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Maison noble fortifiée édifiée au 14e siècle et ayant conservé ses dispositions d'origine : un corps de logis carré flanqué de tourelles aux quatre angles. Seules les portes et fenêtres Est et ouest ont été agrandies au 17e siècle. La toiture surmontant chaque façade du corps de logis présente la particularité d'un toit à deux pentes créant un creux au point de rencontre des façades, au milieu du bâtiment. Cet édifice témoigne de l'architecture seigneuriale médiévale.

History
Fortified noble house built in the 14th century and having retained its original arrangements: a square main dwelling flanked by turrets at the four angles. Only the east and west doors and windows were enlarged in the 17th century. The roof surmounting each façade of the main dwelling presents the particularity of a roof with two slopes creating a depression at the point of meeting of the façades, at the middle of the building. This edifice testifies to medieval seigneurial architecture.
