Editorial reading
The record concentrates on the house: a primitive castle probably built around 1100 by the Counts of Forez, the present building of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, much altered in the eighteenth and nineteenth, with panelling, stucco and painted decoration of the eighteenth century inside. The 1996 listing names, alongside the spiral staircase and the decorated rooms, the outbuildings and the park with its enclosure wall. The park is therefore protected as part of the whole, though the record does not describe its layout.
