The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La seigneurie est mentionnée dès 1120. Le logis du 15e siècle est un bâtiment rectangulaire flanqué, à l'ouest, d'une grosse tour circulaire tronquée d'un étage et, à l'est, d'une échauguette sur consoles, transformée plus tard en pigeonnier. Les façades sont percées de fenêtres à meneaux. Deux bretêches, portées par des consoles et ornées de trilobes, défendent les accès primitifs. L'intérieur conserve un escalier en vis dont la cage carrée est entièrement en oeuvre, ainsi que des cheminées médiévales.

History
The seigneury is mentioned from 1120 onwards. The 15th-century main dwelling is a rectangular building flanked, to the west, by a large truncated circular tower missing one storey and, to the east, by a machicolation on corbels, later transformed into a dovecote. The façades are pierced with mullioned windows. Two bretèches, carried by corbels and decorated with trefoils, defend the primitive accesses. The interior preserves a spiral staircase whose square cage is entirely built in stone, as well as medieval fireplaces.
