The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château est établi sur les murs d'anciennes fortifications. Il est constitué par trois corps de logis groupés autour d'une cour, un quatrième corps plus récent se développant le long d'un parc. Un escalier à vis en pierre, situé à l'angle rentrant de deux corps de bâtiment, permet d'accéder de la cour aux divers corps de bâtiments qui sont à des niveaux décalés. Au 18e siècle, un grand perron a été construit le long de la façade sur cour du corps de logis ouest. Un second perron, démantelé, permet d'accéder du parc au corps de bâtiment sud. A l'intérieur, des pièces ont conservé leurs boiseries du 17e siècle, avec plafonds à la française.

The castle is established on the walls of former fortifications. It consists of three main dwellings grouped around a courtyard, a fourth more recent body developing along a park. A stone spiral staircase, located at the re-entrant angle of two building bodies, allows access from the courtyard to the various building bodies which are at staggered levels. In the 18th century, a large flight of steps was built along the courtyard façade of the western main dwelling. A second flight of steps, dismantled, allowed access from the park to the southern building body. Inside, rooms have retained their 17th century wood panelling, with French ceilings.
