Editorial reading
The record describes a classical quadrilateral with a pedimented central bay, garlands in high relief, salons panelled throughout and Versailles parquet, a cour d’honneur framed by low dependencies, a long outbuilding to the east and two seventeenth-century buildings flanking the arrival avenue. West of the farm stands the circular dovecote. The 2022 listing covers the monumental gate, the enclosures of the court and forecourt, the southern access avenue, the icehouse and dovecote in full, and the parcels on which the domain sits; in December 2024 the château, icehouse and dovecote were classified.
