History

The main dwelling is representative of a small rural Charente seigneury, of medieval origin, remodelled in the 17th century. From the old fortified medieval dwelling there remain only the general structure and some remains (south-east tower, chimneys). Gateways of the 17th century. The buildings are inscribed within a large rectangle enclosed by walls, which must have been punctuated at the four corners by round towers, only one of which survives. The main dwelling was lengthened to the south. The openings, particularly on the rear façade, have undergone enlargements. The courtyard façade retains a mullioned window. A square tower dominates the whole. One room on the ground floor and one room on the first storey preserve two large chimneys from the late Middle Ages.
