The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'origine des constructions actuelles remonte au 13e siècle : il en reste la partie basse du donjon et le tracé de l'enceinte. Fin 16e-début 17e siècle, on construisit la tourelle d'escalier avec sa porte sculptée. Le logis sud fut ajouté au 18e siècle et doté de décors intérieurs, complétés au cours du 19e siècle.

The origin of the present constructions dates back to the 13th century: the lower part of the keep and the outline of the curtain wall remain from this period. At the end of the 16th-beginning of the 17th century, the staircase turret with its sculpted door was built. The south main dwelling was added in the 18th century and furnished with interior decoration, completed during the course of the 19th century.
