L'édifice se compose d'un corps de logis rectangulaire avec, sur la façade principale au sud, une tour circulaire d'escalier et, à l'angle nord-ouest, à l'arrière, une importante tour ronde. Travées verticales de deux niveaux de vastes baies aux moulurations du 16e siècle surmontées de lucarnes en pierre de taille au fronton triangulaire surplombant des séries de trois corbeaux moulurés. L'édifice a été largement remanié, notamment au 19e siècle à la suite d'un incendie partiel du corps de logis.

History
The edifice is composed of a rectangular main dwelling with, on the principal south facade, a circular stair tower and, at the north-west angle, at the rear, a substantial round tower. Vertical bays of two levels of vast openings with mouldings from the 16th century topped with stone dormers with triangular pediment overhanging series of three moulded corbels. The edifice was extensively remodelled, notably in the 19th century following a partial fire of the main dwelling.
