The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La chapelle du manoir est enserrée dans un ensemble de bâtiments de servitude, dominant la cour par un important gable gothique à fleuron, crochets et pinacles dont les retombées se font sur cul-de-lampe sculptés. Au-dessus du linteau se devinent deux léopards soutenant un heaume. Colonnes à chapiteaux gothiques. Située à l'ouest, l'habitation lui est perpendiculaire. Deux tours rondes sont situées au sud. Les communs commençant à la seconde tour, encadrent la cour et se prolongent en retour d'équerre vers la chapelle.

History
The chapel of the manor is enclosed within a set of service buildings, dominating the courtyard with a substantial Gothic gable featuring a fleuron, crockets and pinnacles whose downstrokes rest on sculpted corbels. Above the lintel can be made out two leopards supporting a helm. Columns with Gothic capitals. Situated to the west, the dwelling is perpendicular to it. Two round towers are situated to the south. The outbuildings beginning at the second tower frame the courtyard and continue at right angles towards the chapel.
