Lordship which was under the authority of Semblançay and Luynes. The manor was converted into a fortified house with moats, towers, tourelles and gun ports, by concession granted by Louis XII. It was largely remodelled or rebuilt following this concession. The manor today comprises a main dwelling in brick and stone of the 15th century whose openings were remade in the 16th century. To the north of the courtyard, a building of the 16th century, bearing on its south façade a cylindrical tourelle supported by a corbel. It is flanked to the east and west by outbuildings. At the north-east corner stands the cylindrical dovecote.
