Vers l'est, le bâtiment porte à ses deux angles une petite échauguette en encorbellement, chacune percée de trois meurtrières. Les linteaux de la porte d'entrée et de la fenêtre de droite du rez-de-chaussée, sont ornés de sculptures primitives. A l'ouest est accolée à ce bâtiment une tour carrée à trois étages.

History
The old castle is situated at the end of a court bordered, on each side, by agricultural outbuildings. To the east, the building bears at its two angles a small machicolated turret in corbelling, each pierced by three loopholes. The lintels of the entrance door and of the window on the right of the ground floor are decorated with primitive sculptures. To the west is adjoined to this building a square tower with three storeys.
