The property - brief Summary :
The château was constructed in phases, it is believed from the middle of the 12th century, starting with the parish church.

The whole property, protected by three successive outer-walls, has retained its charm. The outbuildings in the background, offer an important potential, given their number, their surfaces, as well as the quality and condition of the buildings.
