The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'ensemble constitué par le château et les dépendances est établi sur une longue pente orientée au sud et aménagée en terrasses, le château et le parc sur la hauteur dominant les communs et la ferme en contrebas à l'ouest. Le domaine est enclos d'un mur se raccordant aux bâtiments des communs. Le château présente un ensemble assez hétérogène dont la composition formant un L ferme la cour sur ses côtés ouest et sud. Il comporte trois styles différents de baies fin 15e-début 16e, fin 16e et 17e siècles ; d'importantes transformations ont eu lieu au 19e siècle (date 1834 sur le portail).

History
The ensemble constituted by the château and its dependencies is established on a long slope oriented to the south and laid out in terraces, the château and park on the height dominating the service buildings and farm below to the west. The domain is enclosed by a wall connecting to the service buildings. The château presents a rather heterogeneous ensemble whose composition forming an L encloses the courtyard on its west and south sides. It comprises three different styles of openings late 15th-early 16th century, late 16th century and 17th centuries; important transformations took place in the 19th century (date 1834 on the doorway).
