Historique
Petit château dont les deux façades nord et sud sont identiques et divisées en trois travées, la médiane étant en légère saillie et surmontée d'un fronton triangulaire. Deux ailes basses de servitude accostent le château à l'ouest et à l'est, et paraissent plus anciennes. Un parc boisé et clos entoure le domaine. L'édifice a été restauré au 19e siècle.

History
Small château whose two northern and southern façades are identical and divided into three bays, the central one being in slight projection and topped with a triangular pediment. Two low service wings flank the château to the west and to the east, and appear older. A wooded and enclosed park surrounds the domain. The building was restored in the 19th century.
