The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le manoir fut, jusqu'à la Révolution, la résidence des seigneurs, possesseurs des bois de Taillebois qui dépendaient, depuis le 12e siècle, du fief de Taillebois. Le manoir s'organise autour d'une cour carrée. Le logis occupe le flanc sud. La partie la plus ancienne, à l'ouest, date de la fin du 15e siècle et comprend, sur sa façade postérieure, une tour d'escalier hors-oeuvre en vis. La partie habitée du corps de logis date du 16e isècle et a été remaniée au 18e. L'entrée se fait à l'ouest par un double porche (fin du 15e siècle) s'appuyant contre une grange et un bâtiment d'exploitation. Un ensemble de communs ferme la cour au nord.

History
The manor was, until the Revolution, the residence of the lords, possessors of the woods of Taillebois which had depended, since the 12th century, on the fief of Taillebois. The manor is organized around a square courtyard. The main dwelling occupies the south side. The oldest part, to the west, dates from the end of the 15th century and comprises, on its rear façade, an external spiral staircase tower. The inhabited part of the main body dates from the 16th century and was altered in the 18th. Entry is made to the west through a double porch (end of the 15th century) leaning against a barn and an outbuilding. A range of outbuildings closes the courtyard to the north.
