The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La maison d'habitation fut détruite par un incendie peu avant la Révolution. Il ne reste que la tour octogonale datant de 1550. Les bâtiments ont été reconstruits. Le salon servait autrefois de salle de musique. Le plafond est arrondi en forme de coupole pour favoriser la sonorité et l'accoustique. Le plafond de ce salon est décoré de peintures réalisées par des peintures italiens du 19e siècle.

The dwelling house was destroyed by fire shortly before the Revolution. Only the octagonal tower dating from 1550 remains. The buildings have been rebuilt. The drawing room once served as a music room. The ceiling is rounded in the form of a dome to favour sound and acoustics. The ceiling of this drawing room is decorated with paintings executed by Italian painters of the 19th century.
