The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Un document de 1390 attesterait d'une construction à cet emplacement. Certains détails architecturaux indiquent une construction remontant au moins au 16e ou au 17e siècle (arcs en accolade, chanfreins, colonne engagée de l'escalier du logis). L'organisation de l'ensemble témoigne du mode de vie d'une famille de notables ruraux d'avant la Révolution, avec un corps de logis principal contenant salle-à-manger, salon et cuisine, et des dépendances. Le premier étage du corps de logis conserve une salle ornée de boiseries moulurées du 17e siècle. Les dépendances comprennent un bâtiment principal avec étable, grange, boulangerie, fruitier et une porcherie-pigeonnier.

A document of 1390 would attest to a construction at this location. Certain architectural details indicate a construction dating back at least to the 16th or 17th century (ogee arches, chamfers, engaged column of the main dwelling staircase). The organisation of the whole testifies to the way of life of a family of rural notables before the Revolution, with a principal main dwelling containing dining room, drawing room and kitchen, and outbuildings. The first floor of the main dwelling retains a room decorated with moulded woodwork of the 17th century. The outbuildings comprise a principal building with stable, barn, bakery, fruit store and a pig-pigeon house.
