Historique
Ensemble comprenant un logis du 17e siècle, deux petits bâtiments agricoles et un puits, le tout entouré de pelouses, prairies et bois. Le manoir est construit en terre, sur les bases d'un logis plus ancien dont certains éléments encore visibles dateraient du 16e siècle (porte d'entrée principale à accolade ornée, fenêtre à motif renaissant...). Les pièces se distribuent de part et d'autre d'un escalier en bois du 17e siècle, à deux volées droites. Le manoir est vendu comme bien national en 1791.

History
Complex comprising a 17th-century main dwelling, two small agricultural buildings and a well, all surrounded by lawns, meadows and woods. The manor is built in rammed earth, on the bases of an older dwelling some elements of which still visible would date from the 16th century (main entrance door with ornate arch, window with Renaissance motif...). The rooms are distributed on either side of a 17th-century wooden staircase, with two straight flights. The manor was sold as national property in 1791.
