The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La tour mi-cylindrique à éperons était sans doute le donjon de la forteresse. L'entrée se faisait par l'ouverture cintrée en capucine. La tour n'est pas voûtée. Sur la plateforme, restes de caves voûtées en berceau.

History
The semi-cylindrical tower with spurs was no doubt the keep of the fortress. Entry was made by the round arch opening in hood-mould style. The tower is not vaulted. On the platform, remains of caves with barrel vaults.
