The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le fief relevait du Plessis-les-Tours au 15e siècle et, plus tard, du château de Tours. Le château a été en partie démoli en 1838. Du château détruit subsiste deux tours au nord et au sud-ouest, et une autre qui se dressait au nord-est. Au rez-de-chaussée de la tour nord était aménagé un petit oratoire dont il reste des vestiges de peinture. Le pigeonnier, grosse tour cylindrique, encore visible en 1949, a aujourd'hui disparu. Le parc a été loti en 1974.

The fief came under Le Plessis-les-Tours in the 15th century and, later, under the château of Tours. The château was partially demolished in 1838. Of the destroyed château there remain two towers to the north and south-west, and another which stood to the north-east. On the ground floor of the northern tower was arranged a small oratory of which remains of painting survive. The dovecote, a large cylindrical tower, still visible in 1949, has since disappeared. The park was subdivided in 1974.
