Editorial reading
The record lists the layers: the feudal motte with its enceinte and moats, a cross of 1514, the early-seventeenth-century château, dependencies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a seventeenth-century dovecote, and a castle chapel rebuilt in 1862–1865 by Jacquemin with decoration by the Metz school — sculpture by Petre and Husson, glass by Maréchal. The 1986 listing names the motte with its enceinte and moats, the façades of the château, dovecote and entrance pavilions; chapel and cross were classified in 1995. The park in autumn colour, photographed here, is not described in the record.
