The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le nom du manoir provient probablement de celui du menhir, inclus dans la propriété. A la grande tour carrée avec sa tourelle ronde (fin 16e siècle ?) , est venue s'adjoindre une aile au 18e siècle. L'ensemble a conservé quelques boiseries.

History
The name of the manor probably derives from that of the menhir, included in the property. To the large square tower with its round turret (late 16th century?), was added a wing in the 18th century. The ensemble has preserved some panelling.
