The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Les bâtiments semblent remonter, pour l'ensemble, au 16e siècle mais le domaine est antérieur. Ils s'ordonnaient en carré autour d'une cour, prolongés par une métairie à l'est. Des tours ponctuent les angles ainsi qu'une haute tour carrée dans l'angle nord-ouest. Aujourd'hui, l'aile sud a disparu pour laisser place à un mur et un portail. Le logis ne se compose plus que de deux ailes se coupant en équerre, à un étage. Le front nord donne sur un espace aux pentes abruptes dans lequel se trouve un verger. Au-delà, un pigeonnier rond complète le domaine. Les bâtiments de ferme ont été très remaniés au 19e siècle. Le granit et les moellons enduits constituent le gros oeuvre. La tour sud-est abrite une chapelle au décor 18e siècle (1717). A l'intérieur, plusieurs pièces ont conservé leurs décors peints ainsi que des cheminées.

History
The buildings appear overall to date from the 16th century but the estate is earlier. They were arranged in a square around a courtyard, extended by a farmhouse to the east. Towers punctuate the corners as well as a tall square tower at the north-west corner. Today, the south wing has disappeared to make way for a wall and a gateway. The main dwelling now consists only of two wings meeting at right angles, on one storey. The north front overlooks an area with steep slopes in which there is an orchard. Beyond, a round pigeon house completes the estate. The farm buildings were greatly altered in the 19th century. Granite and rendered rubble stone make up the main structure. The south-east tower houses a chapel with 18th-century decoration (1717). Inside, several rooms have retained their painted decoration as well as fireplaces.
