What the French Ministry of Culture records

Il s'agit d'un bâtiment rectangulaire au décor extérieur sobre. Sa distribution intérieure est classique. La pièce la plus remarquable, une chambre au premier étage, abrite deux grandes toiles de Van der Cabel. La chapelle, pavillon de plan carré, s'élève face au château. Ses intérieurs conservent un décor de peintures murales de très grande qualité réalisé entre 1688 et le début du 18e siècle. Le domaine possède différents aménagements : jardin, système hydraulique datant de la fin du 19e siècle, orangerie, glacière, colonnes des Tuileries.
