Description

The castle, which is probably of medieval origin, has a U -shaped shape and is flanked by cylindrical towers, all surrounded by ditches. Sold during the Revolution, it was demolished, and several buildings were erected in the 19th century using elements of the old outbuildings of the farmyard. The Pigeonnier-Porche dating from the 17th century is the only authentic vestige of the castle, serving as a side starter in the farmyard. The ground floor has a door for vehicles as well as a pedestrian door.
