Historique
Quatre parties se distinguent. L'ancien donjon du 11e siècle, à l'angle nord-est, avec une salle basse voûtée en cintre surbaissé au rez-de-chaussée. La tour du 13e siècle comportant l'escalier à vis. La tourelle du 16e siècle prenant la suite de l'escalier à vis pour accéder aux parties hautes. La maison d'habitation du 18e siècle dont certaines pièces ont conservé des placages de bois de style Louis XV. En 1500, le château brûle en partie. Il est restauré en 1581 et complété par une tourelle sur trompe d'angle.

History
Four parts are distinguished. The old keep of the 11th century, at the north-east corner, with a low vaulted chamber in depressed round arch on the ground floor. The 13th century tower comprising the spiral staircase. The 16th century turret continuing the spiral staircase to access the upper parts. The 18th century dwelling house, some rooms of which have retained wood veneers of Louis XV style. In 1500, the castle burns in part. It is restored in 1581 and completed by a turret on corner squinch.
