The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Manoir adossé, par sa façade nord, au flanc du coteau. Sur sa façade sud fait saillie une tour polygonale contenant une vis de pierre, et dont les étages sont soulignés par des cordons moulurés. Des médaillons surmontent la porte d'accès à cette tour, porte accostée de pilastres Renaissance supportant un entablement. Au premier étage de la travée ouest, la fenêtre est également accostée de pilastres Renaissance. Au rez-de-chaussée de la travée opposée, une porte cochère en anse de panier donne accès à un large couloir conduisant aux caves creusées dans le coteau.

Manor abutting, by its north façade, against the slope of the hillside. On its south façade projects a polygonal tower containing a stone spiral staircase, and whose storeys are underlined by moulded stringcourses. Medallions surmount the door of access to this tower, door flanked by Renaissance pilasters supporting an entablature. On the first floor of the west bay, the window is likewise flanked by Renaissance pilasters. On the ground floor of the opposite bay, a carriage gateway in panier arch gives access to a wide passage leading to cellars dug into the hillside.
