The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Château reconstruit au début du 15e siècle, embelli entre la seconde moitié du 15e et les années 1520. Au 19e siècle, affirmation de la vocation agricole de l'ancien château qui connaît alors d'importantes restructurations. Le plan est celui d'une enceinte carrée cantonnée à l'origine de quatre tours circulaires. Son front sud est en majeure partie conservé, intégrant le portail et d'importants restes du logis. Il en est de même pour la grange du 15e, ainsi que pour le logis en retour sur la cour d'origine 16e. Si la tour nord-est a disparu, les bases de la tour nord-ouest sont en partie conservées à la charnière du grand corps de ferme du 19e.

Castle rebuilt at the beginning of the 15th century, embellished between the second half of the 15th and the years 1520. In the 19th century, affirmation of the agricultural vocation of the former castle which then underwent important restructuring. The plan is that of a square enclosure originally flanked by four circular towers. Its south front is largely preserved, incorporating the gateway and substantial remains of the main dwelling. The same applies to the 15th-century barn, as well as to the main dwelling in return on the original 16th-century courtyard. While the north-east tower has disappeared, the bases of the north-west tower are partly preserved at the junction with the large farmhouse of the 19th century.
