The château succeeds the disappeared manor of the former lords of the town. Built in the 18th century, it is a château of classical style with projecting sections of very slight projection on each of the main façades. The openings of the projecting sections are arched while all the others are rectangular. The two levels are separated by a band. The pediments are underlined by strong moulding. Terrace arranged in the 19th century. The interior was remodelled in the 19th century.
