The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Demeure datant pour l'essentiel du 18e siècle. Un logis antérieur est attesté depuis le 15e siècle. L'aménagement des intérieurs date du 19e siècle. L'édifice est fidèle aux canons architecturaux des demeures rurales du 18e siècle liées à l'exploitation des terres : toiture à pans brisés en tuile plate, corps principal avec avant-corps abritant l'escalier central, pavillons latéraux formant retour sur la cour.

Dwelling dating essentially from the 18th century. An earlier main dwelling is attested since the 15th century. The arrangement of the interiors dates from the 19th century. The building is faithful to the architectural canons of rural dwellings of the 18th century linked to the exploitation of land: roof with broken lines in flat tile, main body with avant-corps sheltering the central staircase, lateral pavilions forming a return onto the courtyard.
