The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château a été très remanié au 17e siècle. Le puits dans la cour date du milieu du 16e siècle. La margelle circulaire est galbée ainsi que les deux dés qui l'appuyent. Sur chacun de ces dés s'élève une colonne dorique que réunit un entablement enrichi de denticules sous la corniche. Cet entablement porte un fronton circulaire meublé sur chaque face de trois écussons armoriés dont deux sont inscrits dans des guirlandes circulaires.

History
The castle was heavily modified in the 17th century. The well in the courtyard dates from the middle of the 16th century. The circular coping is curved as are the two cubes supporting it. On each of these cubes rises a Doric column joined by an entablature enriched with dentils under the cornice. This entablature bears a circular pediment furnished on each face with three coats of arms, two of which are inscribed in circular garlands.
