The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Château du 15e siècle, agrandi à partir de 1751. L'édifice est inachevé lorsque Louis-François de Lamartine l'acquiert en 1760. Il décore l'intérieur et aménage les jardins. Son neveu, Alphonse de Lamartine, y vient à partir de 1801 et en hérite en 1826, mais doit le vendre en 1831. Le château est formé d'un plan rectangulaire, à rez-de-chaussée, étage carré et combles couverts d'un toit à brisis et terrassons, flanqué d'une aile en retour d'équerre contenant l'ancienne chapelle. Les pièces sont ornées de boiseries et de cheminées en marbre 18e siècle.

Castle from the 15th century, enlarged from 1751. The building is unfinished when Louis-François de Lamartine acquires it in 1760. He decorates the interior and lays out the gardens. His nephew, Alphonse de Lamartine, comes there from 1801 onwards and inherits it in 1826, but must sell it in 1831. The castle is formed of a rectangular plan, with ground floor, principal storey and roof space covered by a mansard roof and hipped ends, flanked by a wing at right angles containing the former chapel. The rooms are decorated with 18th century wainscoting and marble fireplaces.
