Editorial reading
The Mérimée record gives no narrative history. Its protection line is what we have: the two sixteenth-century doorways were classified in 1931; the façades and roofs of the château and of the outbuildings, the dovecote, the moats and the great entrance portal near the outbuildings were listed in 1961. The Base Mérimée records a garden among the site’s features; the moats and the gate are the parts of that setting the protection describes.
