The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Près du château se trouve un pigeonnier isolé, construit vers 1742. De plan carré, il est porté par quatre piliers de section carrée, élargis à la base et comportant, au sommet, le traditionnel larmier. Sur le plafond, la trappe s'ouvre à l'angle sud-est. L'étage est complètement fermé, hormis une petite baie ouverte au sud. Le colombage présente un remplissage de brique pleine. Primitivement, le pigeonnier devait être couvert de tuile plate à crochet. Lucarnes à pigeons des côtés Est et sud.

Near the château stands an isolated dovecote, built around 1742. Square in plan, it is supported by four pillars of square section, widened at the base and featuring, at the top, the traditional drip moulding. On the ceiling, the trap opens at the south-east angle. The upper storey is completely closed, except for a small opening opened to the south. The timber framing presents a filling of solid brick. Originally, the dovecote should have been covered with flat hooked tile. Pigeon dormers on the East and south sides.
