Mentioned from 1260 onwards, the house is composed of a square enclosure with a cylindrical keep (1311). The keep comprises a blind dungeon, a room with fireplace, latrines and window on the first floor, as well as the uncompleted crowning storey. The north-east angle of the enclosure is occupied by a seigneurial dwelling. The buildings to the south and west belong to the 19th-century agricultural operation.
