The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Château construit à l'extrême fin du 16e siècle et très profondément remanié à la fin du 19e siècle (construction d'une aile massive à l'est vers 1880). Les éléments les plus authentiques sont un portail en pierre sculptée du 17e siècle et l'ancienne chapelle (datant de 1700, sur des bases plus anciennes).

Castle built at the extreme end of the 16th century and very deeply remodelled at the end of the 19th century (construction of a massive wing to the east around 1880). The most authentic elements are a portal in sculpted stone of the 17th century and the former chapel (dating from 1700, on older foundations).
