Description

The castle is made up of different dwellings which each evolved over time (in the 19th century, the bores of the windows were removed; the initial openings were extended; the walls, beams and beams of the ceilings were coated with plaster; the floor coverings have been replaced by parquet floors ...). It is surrounded by an enclosure with walls and ditches. Some laps have been preserved. The entrance, located to the north, would have required heavy fortifications. Probably, a second enclosure led to the access to the castle, the oldest part of which dates back to the 13th or 14th century. The central core of the castle dates from the 15th century. The facade is present a staircase with polygonal shape and a pre-corps housing small outbuildings. A third section ends the castle to the south, with a large tower at the southwest corner. Inside, there are carved fireplaces decorated with painted coat of arms.
