Description

The castle mainly dates from the end of the Middle Ages. It consists of three wings arranged in the shape of a U: the west wing, which includes the entrance chatelet adjoining a service building, and the withdrawal home, surrounded by two wings of services in the north and south of an open courtyard. The southern wing of the services is equipped, at each end, with a square tower. The Châtelet is connected to the house by a suspension bridge which connects the upper floors. Although the Châtelet recalls the 15th century, it could be more recent. The door leading to the staircase of the house is in Renaissance style, perhaps from the beginning of the 17th century. Service buildings seem to date from the 17th century. Only one date is visible, 1654, written on a beam of service buildings.
