The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Il ne semble rester du château que la base du donjon, quadrilatère de 15m sur 20m dont les murs n'existent plus que sur deux côtés. A l'intérieur se trouve l'amorce d'une vis qui devait permettre l'accès à cet étage du donjon. L'entrée devait se faire par le premier étage.

History
There seems to remain of the castle only the base of the keep, quadrilateral of 15m by 20m whose walls exist only on two sides. Inside is found the beginning of a spiral staircase which must have allowed access to this storey of the keep. The entrance must have been through the first storey.
