The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancien fief connu depuis le 9e siècle, mentionné dans une charte de Charles le Chauve confirmant les possessions de la collégiale Saint-Marau. C'est un ensemble de bâtiments du 17e siècle n'ayant pas été dénaturés. L'accès se fait au sud par un grand portail en plein cintre menant à une grande cour fermée par trois différents corps de bâtiments. Au nord, le bâtiment principal d'habitation se divise en un corps central et deux pavillons en avancée. Deux petites tours carrées encadrent le bâtiment principal. En retour se trouve la chapelle rectangulaire surmontée d'un clocheton carré en lanternon, terminé par un dôme. A l'est et à l'ouest de la cour, deux bâtiments bas servent de communs, leurs toitures s'imbriquant dans le logis et la chapelle.

History
Old fief known since the 9th century, mentioned in a charter of Charles the Bald confirming the possessions of the collegiate church of Saint-Marau. It is a complex of 17th-century buildings which have not been altered. Access is made to the south by a large round-arch portal leading to a large court enclosed by three different bodies of building. To the north, the main residential building is divided into a central body and two projecting pavilions. Two small square towers frame the main building. Adjoining is the rectangular chapel surmounted by a small square bell cote in lantern form, ended by a dome. To the east and west of the court, two low buildings serve as outbuildings, their roofing interlocking with the main dwelling and the chapel.
