Lecture éditoriale
The record describes three ranges flanked by round towers around a closed court: the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century house and the fortified fifteenth-century entrance pavilion with its postern to the east and south, and two seventeenth-century wings of outbuildings on the line of the old fortifications, of which two towers remain. The whole was surrounded by moats, of which only a pièce d’eau survives in front of the east esplanade. A landscape park à l’anglaise extends to the north and east. Façades and roofs were listed in 1973, the outbuildings in 1993.
