What the French Ministry of Culture records

Les restes du château sont formés de trois tours ruinées que joignent des pans démantelés de courtines et d'un donjon carré dont subsistent deux murs et une tourelle d'angle qui renfermait l'escalier à vis. Une tour circulaire fait saillie à son angle sud-ouest. Elle renferme les premières marches d'un escalier à vis détruit. A la suite de cette tour subsiste le mur ouest de l'ancien donjon. Dans l'intérieur de l'enceinte se trouve en sous-sol une salle carrée couverte d'un berceau en plein cintre. Un peu plus bas, au nord-ouest des restes du château, se trouve un terrain aménagé en plateforme, emplacement vraisemblable de la basse-cour.
