Comment

The entrance châtelet, flanked by four circular turrets, dates from the 16th century and was probably built by Jean Le Veneur. It is a two-story pavilion. Its construction combines red and black bricks. Its Louis XII style is characteristic of this period of transition between the Gothic and the Renaissance. It is Gothic by the composition of its decoration, by the pinnacles or the presence of hooks on the triangular gables; it is Renaissance by the treatment of these elements.
