The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Au début du 18e siècle, le château sert d'habitation aux maîtres des forges. Le corps de logis est alors reconstruit ainsi que plusieurs bâtiments, dont des hébergeages au nord qui sont remplacés par une grande bergerie à la fin du 19e siècle. Une plateforme surélevée conserve les restes de l'ancien château : une tour carrée ; le corps de logis 18e siècle à l'est, de plan rectangulaire, transformé aux 19e et 20e siècles ; la bergerie ; le pavillon d'entrée dit "le Chalet", construit au 19e siècle.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the castle served as a residence for the masters of the forges. The main dwelling was then rebuilt as were several buildings, including lodgings to the north which were replaced by a large sheepfold at the end of the 19th century. An elevated platform retains the remains of the former castle: a square tower; the 18th-century main dwelling to the east, of rectangular plan, transformed in the 19th and 20th centuries; the sheepfold; the entrance pavilion called 'the Chalet', constructed in the 19th century.
