History
The château rests on ancient substructures (manor of the 9th century). Towers of the 15th century, as well as a wing. Main dwelling and gateway of the 17th and 18th centuries. A keep threatening to collapse was razed in 1842. The massive construction consists of two wings, one of which is flanked by square towers. Windows with mullions. The old wing is pierced by a door of the 15th or 16th century, decorated with monograms and sculptures. The 18th-century wing opens by a door surmounted by two wooden coats of arms.
