Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:
Le corps de logis principal est une construction de plan rectangulaire comportant 5 travées régulières ; il est construit en pierre de taille. Une tour circulaire, élevée en moellons, est accolée à l'une des façades latérales du bâtiment. A l'opposé, une aile en retour d'équerre comportant un étage carré vient agrandir le logis. La liaison entre les deux corps de bâtiments est assurée par une tourelle polygonale sur l'angle de la façade principale. Les adjonctions sont réalisées dans un style néogothique (creneaux, accolades, gâble sur les lucarnes).
