History
Remains of an important complex of an old castle built around 1670, accompanied by a vast enclosed park and outbuildings of which traces remain on the ground. Built on the east side of the forecourt of the main dwelling, the seigneurial dovecote is the only one of the two circular towers which still exists today.
