The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Construction homogène en brique et pierre du début du 17e siècle précédée d'une cour bordée de deux bâtiments symétriques : la chapelle, également du 17e siècle, et les écuries, plus tardives. Les pièces du rez-de-chaussée ont été modifiées au cours de travaux dès le 17e siècle et ornées de lambris au 18e siècle. On remarque l'abondance du décor intérieur (pavages, portes sculptées, cheminées peintes, décor en trompe-l'oeil, etc.).

Homogeneous construction in brick and stone from the early 17th century preceded by a court bordered by two symmetrical buildings: the chapel, also from the 17th century, and the stables, later. The rooms of the ground floor were modified during work from the 17th century onwards and decorated with wainscoting in the 18th century. Notable is the abundance of interior decoration (pavings, carved doors, painted fireplaces, trompe-l'oeil decoration, etc.).
