The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce château est une construction massive en pierres, comportant deux étages dont le premier est construit sur voûtes et le second sur poutres et solivettes en bois. Sur la façade principale, une tour cylindrique placée vers le milieu abrite un escalier en pierre à noyau plein. L'entrée se trouve à la base de cette tour, constituée par un fronton triangulaire reposant sur deux pilastres. Dans l'écusson placé au milieu du fronton se déchiffre le millésime 1012. Une tour flanque la façade latérale Est. Elle comportait un escalier qui a été démoli. En 1887, une nouvelle distribution a été faite au premier étage, avec des cloisons en menuiserie.

History
This castle is a massive construction in stone, comprising two storeys of which the first is built on vaults and the second on beams and small joists in wood. On the main facade, a cylindrical tower placed towards the middle houses a stone staircase with a solid newel. The entrance is found at the base of this tower, formed by a triangular pediment resting on two pilasters. In the escutcheon placed in the middle of the pediment the date 1012 can be read. A tower flanks the East lateral facade. It had a staircase which has been demolished. In 1887, a new layout was made on the first floor, with timber partitions.
