The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Maison forte du 15ème siècle acquise, à la fin des années 1950, par des décorateurs parisiens dont les aménagements demeurent visibles, à ce jour. Le sculpteur Pol Chambost en devient propriétaire en 1965 et établit son atelier de céramique dans l'orangerie. La bâtisse est composée de deux corps de logis rectangulaires en retour d'équerre. Quatre tours carrées structurent l'ensemble architectural : deux tours encadrent le logis nord, une troisième relie les deux corps de bâtiment. Enfin, la quatrième tour située au sud est séparée du logis ouest par un portail.£L'ensemble des cours et jardins ont été réaménagés et accueille le public, depuis 2003, à l'occasion des « Rendez-vous jardin » ou des « journées du patrimoine » mais également pour des exhibitions d'art contemporain.

History
Strong house of the 15th century acquired, at the end of the 1950s, by Parisian decorators whose arrangements remain visible to this day. The sculptor Pol Chambost becomes its owner in 1965 and establishes his ceramic workshop in the orangery. The building is composed of two rectangular dwelling blocks at right angles to each other. Four square towers structure the entire architectural ensemble: two towers frame the northern dwelling, a third connects the two blocks of building. Finally, the fourth tower situated to the south is separated from the western dwelling by a gateway. The whole of the courtyards and gardens have been redesigned and has welcomed the public, since 2003, on the occasion of "Garden meetings" or "heritage days" but also for contemporary art exhibitions.
