The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La partie la plus ancienne est l'habitation fin 15e début 16e siècle, formée d'un long corps de logis. Cette partie est prolongée par une chapelle de même époque. La façade sud est demeurée intacte, hormis les fenêtres qui ont été agrandies au 17e siècle. La porte d'entrée, du 17e également, est inspirée de celle de Richelieu. Les communs ainsi que la fuye circulaire datent également du 17e siècle. La façade nord, inspirée du style Tudor, date du milieu du 19e siècle et a été pratiquement replaquée sur la façade primitive.

The oldest part is the dwelling from the late 15th to early 16th century, formed of a long main dwelling. This part is extended by a chapel of the same period. The south façade has remained intact, except for the windows which were enlarged in the 17th century. The entrance door, also from the 17th century, is inspired by that of Richelieu. The outbuildings as well as the circular dovecot also date from the 17th century. The north façade, inspired by Tudor style, dates from the middle of the 19th century and was practically refaced onto the primitive façade.
