The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Type de pavillon de chasse construit au milieu du 17e siècle (achevé en 1660) pour Jean Martel, lieutenant au bailliage d'Evreux, en brique et pierre, sur plan rectangulaire. Après un certain nombre de transformations aux 19e et 20e siècles visant à le transformer en résidence secondaire, l'intérêt architectural de l'édifice réside moins dans le bâtiment principal, que dans son portail d'entrée et sa large allée d'arbres.

History
Type of hunting pavilion built in the middle of the 17th century (completed in 1660) for Jean Martel, lieutenant to the bailiwick of Evreux, in brick and stone, on a rectangular plan. After a certain number of transformations in the 19th and 20th centuries aimed at transforming it into a secondary residence, the architectural interest of the building lies less in the main building, than in its entrance portal and its wide tree-lined avenue.
