The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le premier document concernant cet édifice remonte à 1329. Il s'agissait alors d'une forteresse constituée d'une grosse tour et de constructions comportant créneaux et mâchicoulis. A partir de 1650, construction du château actuel qui ne semble pas avoir connu depuis de modifications. Le manoir se compose d'un corps de logis du 17e siècle, flanqué sur sa face arrière de deux tours du 14e-15e siècle. Ces tours carrées sont les vestiges de l'ancien château fort. A l'intérieur, le corps de logis conserve un escalier en bois du 17e siècle et un plafond peint de la même époque, à motif décoratif dans une chambre du premier étage.

History
The first document concerning this building dates back to 1329. It was then a fortification consisting of a stout tower and structures comprising crenellations and machicolations. From 1650, construction of the present castle which does not appear to have undergone any modifications since. The manor consists of a main dwelling of the 17th century, flanked on its rear face by two towers of the 14th-15th century. These square towers are the vestiges of the old fortress. Inside, the main dwelling preserves a wooden staircase of the 17th century and a painted ceiling of the same period, with decorative motif in a bedroom on the first storey.
