The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Château caractéristique du début du 17e siècle, comprenant un corps de logis rectangulaire avec deux pavillons carrés en retour et des lucarnes à fronton triangulaire surmonté de boules. En façade arrière, l'accès s'effectuait par un perron qui a été supprimé. La distribution intérieure est fréquente à l'époque, avec un escalier droit central qui traverse le corps de logis de part en part, et qui détermine deux vastes salles de part et d'autre. Au sous-sol, dans la partie ouest, se trouve l'ancienne cuisine à la voûte en berceau appareillé, conservant sa cheminée avec four à pain. Au rez-de-chaussée, deux salons conservent leurs plafonds à la française dont les poutres maîtresses ont les arêtes moulurées.

History
Castle characteristic of the early 17th century, comprising a rectangular main dwelling with two square pavilions in return and dormers with triangular pediment surmounted by balls. On the rear façade, access was by a perron which has been removed. The interior distribution is common for the period, with a central straight staircase which crosses the main dwelling from one end to the other, and which determines two vast rooms on either side. In the basement, in the western part, is found the former kitchen with a barrel vault of coursed masonry, retaining its fireplace with bread oven. On the ground floor, two drawing rooms retain their French ceilings whose main beams have moulded arises.
