Editorial reading
The record describes an enclosure wall flanked by two round towers, a keeper’s house at the entrance, and on the way to the château a first range of pigsty, bread oven and sheepfold, with a nineteenth-century stable. The 2005 listing takes in the built parts — house, moats, bridges, dependencies, enclosure walls — and the unbuilt ground of the park and lands; in 2013 the château, its moats and the ground of the castle ensemble were classified. The park itself is not described in the record.
