The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Construite à la fin du 17e siècle, la demeure s'organise autour d'une vaste cour limitée au sud par le porche et des communs, et au nord par le logis rectangulaire encadré par deux pavillons à un étage. Plusieurs pièces conservent des plafonds à la française, mais ce qui reste du décor évoque le 18e siècle.

History
Constructed at the end of the 17th century, the dwelling is organised around a vast courtyard bounded to the south by the porch and outbuildings, and to the north by the rectangular main dwelling flanked by two single-storey pavilions. Several rooms retain French ceilings, but what remains of the decoration evokes the 18th century.
