The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le manoir comporte un grand bâtiment rectangulaire flanqué aux deux angles de tours circulaires, le tout remontant au 16e siècle. Intérieurement, le bâtiment est divisé en deux par un escalier droit, à double volée, en berceaux rampants entre un mur d'échiffre. L'ancienne façade principale, actuellement sur la jardin, est percée de fenêtres à meneaux et d'une porte en plein cintre correspondant à l'escalier. Cette porte est surmontée d'un oculus. En avant de la façade principale subsiste une tour ayant probablement appartenu à une enceinte englobant la propriété. A l'intérieur, cheminée du 16e siècle et meurtrières disposées pour l'usage des premières armes à feu.

History
The manor comprises a large rectangular building flanked at both angles by circular towers, all dating from the 16th century. Internally, the building is divided in two by a straight staircase, with double flights, in barrel-vaults between a central wall. The former main façade, now facing the garden, is pierced with mullioned windows and a round-arched door corresponding to the staircase. This door is surmounted by an oculus. In front of the main façade there remains a tower which probably belonged to an enclosure encompassing the property. Inside, 16th-century fireplace and loopholes arranged for the use of early firearms.
