Historique
A l'ouest de l'esplanade se trouvent des bâtiments du 19e siècle (habitations, remises et écuries). A l'est est située une chapelle carrée surmontée d'un clocheton. Plus au sud, la maison du garde a été conservée. L'esplanade est longée par des douves qui la séparent de la cour intérieure du château qui en occupe le côté nord, les communs les côtés est et ouest. Le château, en briques et pierres, appartient au 18e siècle, et a été bâti à l'emplacement d'un édifice plus ancien. Le centre de la façade sud forme une avancée surmontée d'un fronton triangulaire. Les deux ailes sont redoublées symétriquement par les communs.

History
To the west of the esplanade are found 19th-century buildings (dwellings, outhouses and stables). To the east is situated a square chapel surmounted by a small bell turret. Further to the south, the gamekeeper's house has been preserved. The esplanade is bordered by moats which separate it from the internal courtyard of the château which occupies its north side, the outbuildings its east and west sides. The château, in brick and stone, belongs to the 18th century, and was built on the site of an older building. The centre of the south façade forms a projection surmounted by a triangular pediment. The two wings are doubled symmetrically by the outbuildings.
