The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La transformation du château date du milieu du 18e siècle, menée par Anne Jean-Baptiste Eugène Jobard du Mesnil, baron d'Empire, qui fait également construire une chapelle en style néo-égyptien et un kiosque disparu. L'ensemble est complété par un pigeonnier du 18e siècle, près de la chapelle et, face au château, par un parc où se trouve une tour ayant sans doute servi d'observatoire. Acquis par la municipalité en 1905, le château a été restauré et aménagé en 1906, ainsi que dans les années 1960, en bureau de poste, perception et salle de danse.

History
The transformation of the castle dates from the mid-18th century, carried out by Anne Jean-Baptiste Eugène Jobard du Mesnil, baron of the Empire, who also had a chapel built in neo-Egyptian style and a disappeared kiosk. The ensemble is completed by an 18th-century dovecote, near the chapel and, facing the castle, by a park where stands a tower which no doubt served as an observatory. Acquired by the municipality in 1905, the castle was restored and fitted out in 1906, as well as in the 1960s, as a post office, tax office and dance hall.
