The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Demeure fortifiée en granit, construite à la limite des 16e et 17e siècles, se composant de deux pavillons saillants aux deux angles opposés, et d'une tourelle d'angle en surplomb. Cinq cheminées d'époque sont encore en place, mais trois ont été chemisées au 19e siècle dans des coffrages. Le logis est complété par des bâtiments de ferme et des dépendances, dissociés du logis, mais formant avec lui une cour rectangulaire fermée. Pendant la révolution, ce manoir fut un lieu de rendez-vous pour la chouannerie.

History
Fortified dwelling in granite, built at the boundary of the 16th and 17th centuries, consisting of two projecting pavilions at two opposite angles, and a corner turret overhanging. Five period fireplaces are still in place, but three were lined in the 19th century in casings. The main dwelling is completed by farm buildings and dependencies, dissociated from the main dwelling, but forming with it a closed rectangular courtyard. During the Revolution, this manor was a meeting place for Chouannerie.
