History

The castle is organized around a quadrilateral. Three ranges of building surround the inner courtyard. The south-west façade presents a 17th-century building. At the centre stands out a pavilion which appears to date from the same period but may be a 19th-century pastiche. At the extremities of this façade were added, in the 19th century, wings terminated by towers, those on the south-east having been demolished in the 20th century and replaced by a pavilion. The north-east façade presents a succession of three pavilions linked together. At the centre, the "chatelet" was modified or built in the 19th century. To the north is found the chapel raised at the end of the 18th century. To the west of these buildings are the stables, the dovecote with lantern turret and the outbuildings with the barn.
