What the French Ministry of Culture records

Mentionné pour la première fois en 1407. La maison seigneuriale datable de la seconde moitié du 13e siècle, remaniée au 15e siècle. L'édifice se présentait comme une tour de plan presque carré, comprenant une salle basse surmontée par deux étages. La maison forte est laissée à l'abandon jusqu'en 1598. Près du logis se trouvent une tourelle ronde dont la partie supérieure abrite un colombier, et un cellier. Au 18e siècle, l'escarpe du fossé nord est reconstruite et le pont-levis remplacé par une arche dormante. Avant 1818, ajout d'un corps de bâtiment contre la tour.
