What the French Ministry of Culture records

Ce donjon serait la base d'une grosse tour carrée de l'ancien château aujourd'hui disparu. La tour est renforcée, aux angles, de tourelles saillantes. Les murs sont percés d'archères et de baies dont les meneaux ont disparu. Une porte en tiers-point ouvre le rez-de-chaussée. A côté de la tour se trouvait une habitation Renaissance.
