The castle, which is made of blocks of granite from the Margeride Mountains, underwent several construction periods. It boasts two round towers including one in the middle of the façade that houses the entrance and spiral staircase leading to the different storeys, from the basement via the ground floor to the attic. The entrance door, which is framed by ribbed pilasters, is adorned with Ionic capitals and a Renaissance style entablature with stone ties. The fortifications date from the era of muskets and cannons, with embrasures for such weapons. Indeed, there is still a cannon on the patio. The remaining brattices are in fact the former latrines. The façade is adorned with ten small-paned windows and a wooden door. Even though it is no longer used, the passage between the castle and church is still possible via the bell tower built in 1833.
The castleFrom a bird's eye view, this four-storey building seems to have been built in a rectangular shape, facing south over the surrounding countryside. The main façade overlooks a patio and a courtyard, on one side of which a former sheep barn still stands. The castle has been renovated with respect for its original features and atmosphere. It is now heated by a series of wood-burning stoves with additional electric heating in one part of the building. Domestic hot water is provided by three 200-litre water heaters which can be controlled by a system of valves.
