The fortified gate consists of a pavilion whose ground floor is pierced by a corridor limited by two arcades. This pavilion is flanked by two cylindrical brick towers. Residential and service buildings, in brick. A barn in brick presents on its façade a projecting section pierced by a carriage entrance. The cylindrical dovecote has preserved all its nesting holes. A carriage entrance adjoins the dovecote. A cylindrical tower occupies the south-west corner of the enclosure.
