What the French Ministry of Culture records
Le château possédait une enceinte indépendante des remparts qui protégeaient la ville. Le donjon comprend une salle basse ne communiquant qu'avec le premier étage par une baie circulaire percée dans le haut de la coupole. Le premier étage ne présentait qu'une entrée étroite, sans escalier en maçonnerie. Un escalier à vis communiquait avec le second étage, également voûté. De la plateforme ne subsiste rien.
