The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Donjon médiéval de forme quadrangulaire, cantonné de deux tours. Il semble plus ancien (peut-être fin 11e ou 12e siècle) que les percements et voûtes de la fin du 16e siècle. Le château voisin, restauré au 19e siècle, a conservé la plupart de ses dispositions des 16e et 17e siècles, en particulier ses cuisines monumentales. Le décor peint (1875-1885) des appartements du comte de Galembert est conservé.

History
Medieval keep of quadrangular form, flanked by two towers. It seems older (perhaps late 11th or 12th century) than the openings and vaults of the late 16th century. The neighbouring castle, restored in the 19th century, has retained most of its arrangements from the 16th and 17th centuries, in particular its monumental kitchens. The painted decoration (1875-1885) of the apartments of the comte de Galembert is preserved.
