The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le manoir a été construit de 1607 à 1815. Le colombier, daté de 1612, fait partie des rares spécimens de colombier de plan rectangulaire subsistant encore dans la région. Il subsiste dans son contexte architectural du début du 17e siècle. Bâti le long de la douve, il fait office de mur d'enceinte et apparaît comme un signal distinctif symbolisant les droits seigneuriaux. Le manoir possède un ensemble de constructions qui s'ordonnent autour d'une cour fermée.

History
The manor was built from 1607 to 1815. The dovecote, dated 1612, is among the rare specimens of rectangular plan dovecote still surviving in the region. It survives in its architectural context of the early 17th century. Built along the moat, it acts as a boundary wall and appears as a distinctive signal symbolizing seigneurial rights. The manor possesses a set of constructions arranged around a closed courtyard.
