What the French Ministry of Culture records

Métairie rattachée à une famille bourgeoise exploitant les terres du Gô depuis le 16e siècle. Le membre le plus célèbre de cette famille est le navigateur Lapérouse qui y naquit. Le château se présente comme un édifice de briques, construit dans la tradition Renaissance, et comporte trois ailes de bâtiments disposées autour d'une cour centrale orientée au nord. La partie la plus ancienne (aile sud avec escalier à vis) a été successivement complétée par l'aile Est au 17e siècle, puis l'aile ouest au 19e siècle (architecture à galets) pour composer le plan actuel de l'édifice. A l'intérieur, le séjour du rez-de-chaussée conserve sa cheminée et le plafond à la française.
