History

The property presents itself according to a plan unchanged since the beginning of the 20th century: a large main building flanked by two wings in return and completed by a wing perpendicular to the rear of the central body. Long and narrow, the house is topped by a two-pitched roof covered with curved tiles. An eave called 'talapon' protects the monumental double-flight staircase. On the ground floor, the former kitchen and entrance hall houses a small museum. The dining room is covered with wood panelling with false-marble and false fruit-wood burr decoration. Scenes of children's games and seasonal activities are painted in grisaille on the upper part.
