Listed as a historic monument in 1995, it takes the form of an imposing rectangular mound with rounded corners, 30 m by 20 m at the top and 3 m high, raised with the earth from the digging of the circular ditch, supplied with water by the nearby stream. It was around the 14th century that the old castle, built in the 11th-12th century, was abandoned in favor of a more comfortable residence, the current manor, the main remains of which date from the 16th century.
