The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La maison repose en partie sur le rocher. L'angle sud-est est occupé par une tour ronde. Dans ses parties arrières, la maison possède quelques fenêtres (dont certaines à meneaux) paraissant utiliser des pierres en réemploi. La tour et les meurtrières donnent à l'édifice un caractère défensif. A l'intérieur, plusieurs pièces, dont deux au nord, sont voûtées d'arêtes. L'une d'elles possède une cheminée en bois, l'autre une demi-cheminée en bois du 18e siècle.

History
The house rests in part on the rock. The south-east angle is occupied by a round tower. In its rear sections, the house has some windows (some of which with mullions) appearing to use re-employed stones. The tower and the loopholes give the building a defensive character. Inside, several rooms, of which two to the north, are vaulted with groin vaults. One of them has a wooden fireplace, the other a half-fireplace in wood from the 18th century.
