Description
The first 16th century castle, protected by four round towers, crenellated walls and an outdoor ditch, was reshaped in the 18th century (the towers were enhanced with a dome; the facades have large openings). In the 19th century, the western fence was replaced by an arcature overlooking the park. The interior is decorated in the troubadour style. In 1991, a fire ravaged the roofs and part of the decoration.
