Dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, the château has a rich history of ownership and architectural evolution. Significant works were carried out by notable figures such as Hugues Mathe and François Jean-Marie Morel, resulting in its current grandeur and charm.

Built of chalk stone with an Irish purplish slate roof, the château stands at the centre of a large rectangular terre-plein surrounded by water, creating a picturesque setting.
A footbridge spanning the moat provides access to the château's courtyard. A magnificent main gate stands at the entrance to the bridge. On either side are two two-storey square pavilions, formerly dovecotes. The château has a classic east-west orientation, ensuring maximum sunlight. The gardens are to the east and the courtyard to the west.
