The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifiée à partir de 1663, la maison noble se dresse au centre du village. Elle a conservé ses dispositions initiales, à l'exception du pavillon construit entre 1850 et 1860 à l'ouest. Les toitures sont couvertes en lauzes. A l'intérieur, un escalier central en pierre distribue symétriquement le premier étage. Avant 1663, existait un ouvrage situé à l'extrême Est du bâtiment actuel, et dont il reste la tourelle, le rez-de-chaussée du pavillon et une partie de la cave principale sous le corps de logis.

Built from 1663, the noble house stands at the centre of the village. It has retained its original layout, with the exception of the pavilion built between 1850 and 1860 to the west. The roofs are covered with slates. Inside, a central stone staircase distributes the first floor symmetrically. Before 1663, there existed a structure situated at the far east of the current building, of which remain the turret, the ground floor of the pavilion and part of the main cellar under the main dwelling.
