The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pavillon en damiers de silex et de grès, flanqué d'une échauguette d'angle, exemple assez rare de construction en damier du début du 16e siècle. La partie en pans de bois, reconstruite au 17e siècle, a été remaniée au début du 19e (construction de la tour hors-oeuvre). Ce manoir a été restauré par Ruprich Robert. L'abbé Breuil y a écrit la plupart de son oeuvre sur la préhistoire au début du 20e siècle.

History
Pavilion in chequerwork of flint and sandstone, flanked by a corner échauguette, a fairly rare example of chequerwork construction of the early 16th century. The timber framing part, rebuilt in the 17th century, was altered in the early 19th century (construction of the external tower). This manor was restored by Ruprich Robert. Abbé Breuil wrote most of his work on prehistory there in the early 20th century.
