The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1637 a lieu la première modernisation du manoir (façade, escalier, jardin, destruction probable de deux pavillons à l'arrière). En 1772, la deuxième modernisation touche la grande salle. En 1880, dernière modernisation dans le goût du 19e siècle (comblement d'un restant de fossé, destruction de la tour arrière et des boiseries). C'est un édifice typique des manoirs de la région de Domfront, en granit. Le bâtiment rectangulaire possède deux poivrières du côté sud, et deux cheminées sur les pignons est et ouest. Le manoir est précédé de deux petits pavillons carrés.

In 1637 the first modernisation of the manor takes place (façade, staircase, garden, probable destruction of two pavilions at the rear). In 1772, the second modernisation affects the great hall. In 1880, the last modernisation in 19th-century taste (filling of a remaining ditch, destruction of the rear tower and the woodwork). It is a typical building of the manors of the Domfront region, in granite. The rectangular building has two pepper-pot towers on the south side, and two chimneys on the east and west gables. The manor is preceded by two small square pavilions.
