Architect Auguste Beignet rebuilt the structure between 1894 and 1896, reviving the classical proportions of a 17th and 18th century manor and retaining earlier features, including panelling still visible in the main drawing room. The estate also includes outbuildings, a 17th century kitchen garden and a 19th century water mill that has kept its machinery and water system intact.
