History
Built in the second half of the 16th century, the château comprises a main dwelling reinforced by two towers, with two wings as outbuildings framing the courtyard on the south side, and a third set of outbuildings to the east of the former. The main dwelling and one of the towers retain rooms with four-part vaults. The second tower houses a spiral staircase.
