The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Un château existait déjà en 1588. En 1668, est mentionné un château de briques à quatre tours, entouré de fossés. En 1760, est abattu le quatrième côté qui servait de mur de clôture. A cette époque, l'édifice devait avoir le même plan que l'édifice actuel : quadrilatère cantonné par quatre tours. Cet édifice a sans doute été repris au début du 17e siècle, dans la seconde campagne de travaux. Le plan a été conservé, mais le logis central a été élevé et les percements changés. En 1880, ajout du baldaquin qui couvre le perron par l'architecte Rocher. L'édifice est entièrement construit en briques.

History
A castle already existed in 1588. In 1668, there is mentioned a brick castle with four towers, surrounded by ditches. In 1760, the fourth side which served as a closure wall is torn down. At this period, the building should have had the same plan as the present building: a quadrilateral cantonned by four towers. This building was no doubt taken up again in the early 17th century, in the second campaign of works. The plan was preserved, but the central main dwelling was raised and the openings changed. In 1880, addition of the baldachin which covers the perron by the architect Rocher. The building is entirely constructed in bricks.
