All rooms in the building have large windows making the spaces bright. The medieval tower, with its loopholes, is reserved for more intimate spaces such as sanitary and/or bathrooms. On the ground floor: two vaulted rooms with Louis XIV woodwork, wall friezes, on one side.

On the first floor: family suite with private bathroom, fireplace and woodwork, composed of two bedrooms, one with an alcove; and another bedroom with private bathroom in the tower. On the second floor: new family suite with adjoining bedrooms, used for professional purposes with office and meeting room. On the other side, another large bedroom with bathroom in the tower. On the top floor: three attic bedrooms located under the frame of the castle, each with its own private bathroom.

A second cottage with a bread oven still in service, ideal for evenings with friends by the fire.

This remarkable property is a real opportunity for lovers of history and old buildings, seeking to develop a professional activity focused on events and tourism. Technical side: The roofs are in good condition and are checked periodically. Parquet floors in good condition too. A rainwater collector basin, with a capacity of 37,000 L, located at the boundaries of the land, ensures a sufficient water reserve for the maintenance of the park.
