The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette tour d'escalier du 15e siècle est le seul élément qui subsiste du château. Le corps de logis principal a été reconstruit au 18e siècle puis modifié par des adjonctions au 19e siècle. La tour d'escalier s'ouvre par une porte de style gothique flamboyant, surmontée d'un arc en accolade amorti d'un fleuron. L'arc est flanqué de deux colonnettes qui se terminent en manière de pinacles sculptés. A l'intérieur, l'escalier en vis présente une base polyédrique sculptée. Les portes palières doubles, au chambranle chanfreiné, sont recouvertes d'une voûte unique chanfreinée.

This 15th-century staircase tower is the only element that remains of the château. The principal body of dwelling was rebuilt in the 18th century and then modified by additions in the 19th century. The staircase tower opens by a door of flamboyant gothic style, surmounted by an arc in accolade terminated by a fleuron. The arch is flanked by two small columns ending in the manner of carved pinnacles. Inside, the spiral staircase has a sculptured polyhedral base. The double landing doors, with chamfered jambs, are covered by a single chamfered vault.
