The record is precise about the gardens. To the north of the château they are arranged in terraces on an axial composition starting from a first pleasure garden and its central basin; the first terrace holds the kitchen garden, the second the orchard. The landscape park keeps the line of the old approach avenues. The house itself grew from a fifteenth-century L-plan manor, enlarged in the seventeenth century, turned into a farm, and rebuilt as a château around a U-shaped court in the 1850s, probably by the architect Bernier, in a homogeneous neo-Gothic restoration of the 1880s. The 2007 listing names the north garden in terraces — pleasure garden and kitchen garden — alongside the château, dependencies and dovecote.
