What the French Ministry of Culture records

Le château actuel reprend le type du château-cour du 15e siècle. De plan octogonal, il est flanqué de pavillons et de tours rondes aux angles, et est entouré de fossés. L'édifice a fait l'objet d'une importante campagne de travaux au 19e siècle, qui a porté essentiellement sur les percements, les couvertures et les aménagements intérieurs. Le corps de logis principal a été agrandi en profondeur pour créer une galerie au rez-de-chaussée et à l'étage. La façade ouest a été élevée dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle. L'ntérieur conserve une cheminée monumentale de la seconde moitié du 16e siècle, portant un décor peint.
