Un haut logis au nord borde l'une des faces de la cour. Les trois tours cylindriques sont toujours couvertes des coupoles de pierre primitives.

History
Substantial manor house, entirely bordered by an internal wall walk, and enclosed by high defensive walls, at the angles of which are found three cylindrical towers and a square one. A tall main dwelling to the north borders one side of the courtyard. The three cylindrical towers are still covered with primitive stone domes. They shelter square rooms defended by loopholes. The square tower must date from the 16th century.
