The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancienne place forte, le domaine se compose d'un corps de logis du 18e siècle, d'un bâtiment de 1567 et d'une chapelle de 1572. L'ensemble est complété de douves, d'une poterne et de deux tours d'angle. La porte d'entrée située entre les deux tours poternes semble remonter au 16e siècle. Le bâtiment du 16e siècle était peut-être un édifice religieux car il s'agit d'un édifice isolé, rectangulaire, à deux pignons. Une série de meurtrières est visible au-dessous des combles, sur le mur sud. Cet édifice aurait pu avoir un rôle défensif au cours des guerres de Religion. Il est percé de fenêtres Renaissance, en plein cintre, surmontées d'un fronton. Le corps de logis est composé d'un bâtiment principal prolongé de deux ailes. Un petit porche d'entrée a été ajouté sans doute au milieu du 19e siècle.

History
Former stronghold, the domain is composed of an 18th-century main dwelling, a building of 1567 and a chapel of 1572. The ensemble is completed with moats, a postern gate and two corner towers. The entrance door situated between the two potern towers appears to date from the 16th century. The 16th-century building was perhaps a religious building as it is an isolated, rectangular structure, with two gables. A series of loopholes is visible below the roof space, on the south wall. This building might have had a defensive role during the Wars of Religion. It is pierced with Renaissance windows, round-arched, surmounted by a pediment. The main dwelling is composed of a main building extended by two wings. A small entrance porch was probably added in the middle of the 19th century.
