What the French Ministry of Culture records

Château d'origine inconnue, mentionné en 1369. Le corps de logis se trouve au centre d'une cour d'honneur, et présente deux campagnes de construction. Le bâtiment à droite de la tour polygonale d'escalier est éclairé par deux fenêtres à meneaux, témoignage du 15e siècle. La partie gauche présente des dispositions de la seconde Renaissance. L'enceinte est entourée de douves. Les canonnières des tours sont typiques du 15e siècle. La poterne a sans doute remplacé un châtelet d'entrée. En 1719, le château devient ferme. Les communs adossés à l'enceinte datent, en majeure partie, de cette période. Cet ensemble témoigne de l'ascension sociale d'une famille noble de province, puis de son effacement. L'aile en retour, Renaissance, est inachevée. Les fortifications, dans un premier temps militaires, prennent une fonction symbolique.
