Editorial reading
The record tells the site’s military history and describes a rectangular house flanked by narrow pavilions on the north and, on the south, by two towers fitted out in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, remains of the old fortress. Traces of the former moats survive to the north and west, and a group of outbuildings stands to the west. The façades and roofs were listed in 1986. The Base Mérimée records a garden among the site’s features; the moats are what the record describes of the grounds.
