What the French Ministry of Culture records

Exemple rare à Bourges d'architecture civile de la fin du 13e siècle ou du 14e siècle. La construction du corps d'entrée, seul élément subsistant du domaine avec un château reconstruit vers 1876 à l'emplacement d'un corps de logis élevé vers 1500 par Guillaume Compaing, peut être attribuée à un riche bourgeois de Bourges, Robert de Clamecy. En 1574, le château devint la maison des champs du collège de Jésuites de Bourges et le resta jusqu'à la Révolution, époque à laquelle il fut vendu comme bien national. Au début du 20e siècle, il servit de maison de campagne à des séminaristes. De plan rectangulaire, le corps d'entrée se compose d'un porche d'entrée carré et d'un bâtiment rectangulaire flanqué, au sud, d'une abside pour le four. A l'intérieur, des traces de peintures murales sont conservées à l'étage, notamment une bordure peinte avec écus armoriés (14e ou 15e siècle).
