Logis bâti vers le milieu du 16e siècle (1553), sous forme de maison à créneaux avec fuie. En 1562, percement de neuf mâchicoulis au-dessus du portail d'entrée qui se terminait autrefois, à ses deux extrémités, par deux tourelles dont une seule subsiste. La poterne est encadrée de deux pilastres et surmontée d'un fronton triangulaire orné de pots à feu. Avec ce logis, fut construite une terrasse. Les autres bâtiments de fermes sont de construction récente, ainsi que la chapelle en avant du portail.
