The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le château fut reconstruit en 1746 à l'emplacement de l'ancien château mentionné en 1541 et 1577. L'édifice fut saisi et vendu en 1794. Le château est situé au centre d'un parc aménagé au 19e siècle. C'est une construction typique des châteaux ruraux du milieu du 18e siècle : un corps central flanqué de deux pavillons latéraux légèrement saillants. L'intérieur conserve des boiseries avec trumeaux peints ainsi qu'un dallage. Les communs sont récents et constitués de petits bâtiments en longueur.

The castle was rebuilt in 1746 on the site of the former castle mentioned in 1541 and 1577. The building was seized and sold in 1794. The castle is situated at the centre of a park laid out in the 19th century. It is a typical construction of the rural castles of the mid-18th century: a central block flanked by two slightly projecting side pavilions. The interior retains woodwork with painted overmantels as well as paving. The outbuildings are recent and consist of small elongated buildings.
