The house was enlarged in 1537 and bought in 1631 by the prior of the Feuillants of Bordeaux, who rebuilt the main block and crowned it with a pavilion; the 1811 cadastre shows a quadrilateral around an inner court, of which most outbuildings have gone. The record concentrates on the dovecote: circular, under a stone dome with an eastern flight dormer, ringed by two projecting stone bands that kept rodents from climbing, with a twelve-metre well inside that fed a reservoir under the cupola in the early twentieth century. The garden seen from the park today, with its vegetable beds and topiary, is not described in the record.
