The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le logis médiéval subit des transformations au 17e siècle. L'architecte Pierre Baillargé remanie le domaine en 1781. Le manoir se trouvait au coeur de quatre métairies attenantes. Des bâtiments disparus au nord fermaient une première cour qui précédait la cour d'honneur, dont une aile de commun a également été abattue vers 1963. Le logis occupe une partie de l'aile sud, et porte les dates d'intervention de 1678 et 1690. Un pigeonnier est accolé au pignon est. L'intérieur est organisé autour d'une entrée traversante avec escalier au nord. Un salon octogonal et diverses petites pièces conservant des éléments des 15e, 18e et 19e siècles, se succèdent. Les chambres sont distribuées à l'étage par un couloir.

The medieval main dwelling undergoes transformations in the 17th century. The architect Pierre Baillargé remodels the domain in 1781. The manor was located at the heart of four adjoining farmsteads. Disappeared buildings to the north closed a first courtyard which preceded the courtyard of honour, of which a wing of service buildings was also demolished around 1963. The main dwelling occupies part of the south wing, and bears the dates of intervention of 1678 and 1690. A dovecote is attached to the east gable. The interior is organised around a through-passage entrance with staircase to the north. An octagonal salon and various small rooms preserving elements of the 15th, 18th and 19th centuries succeed one another. The bedrooms are distributed on the upper floor by a corridor.
