History
Former castellany holding of Rillé. Built in place of a Gallo-Roman villa, the manor occupies the north-west angle of a rectangular enclosure, whose curtain walls were furnished with a wall-walk and merlons around 1910. The manor comprises two perpendicular buildings, united by a wing pierced, at its ground floor, by a door giving access to the inner courtyard. The north building is flanked, at its north-east and north-west angles, by two cylindrical towers. The enclosure was surrounded by moats.
