As it stood in 1832

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact rectangular stone castle set directly on a broad surrounding pond, with pale, almost white masonry and a low, crenellated roofline. Cylindrical round towers (including the medieval Donjon) occupy at least one corner, and a large square keep rises at another; battlements and merlons top the towers. The main façade shows tall, vertically proportioned neo‑Gothic windows and a small projecting stone balcony above the central entrance. The estate is parkland with trees framing the water reflections.
