The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Edifice bâti au début du 16e siècle et augmenté, à la fin du 17e, des deux pavillons qui lui sont opposés, ainsi que de servitudes. Le pavillon central, de plan carré, est flanqué de hautes tours supportées par des corbeaux disposés en retrait. La partie droite de ce pavillon, à la suite de réparations maladroites, s'est effondrée en 1869. Le sous-sol conserve des dépendances voûtées. L'édifice conserve également des dallages du château de Bonnivet.

History
Building erected in the early 16th century and enlarged at the end of the 17th by the two pavilions opposed to it, as well as by outbuildings. The central pavilion, of square plan, is flanked by tall towers supported by corbels arranged in setback. The right part of this pavilion, following clumsy repairs, collapsed in 1869. The basement retains vaulted outbuildings. The building also preserves paving from the castle of Bonnivet.
