The castle itself is closed to the public. The outbuildings are the subject of guided visits for the Heritage Days 2015: barn, old courtyard with its footbath and chapel. The barn and its frame dated from the seventeenth century, is remarkable for its height and the superb technique of realization. The footbath: in an arched enclosure, a pond, dug for the care to be given to horses and other animals, is in the center of the old courtyard turned garden of pleasure. The chapel: by a gate that opens on a charming cradle, one accesses the chapel of the castle. Dating from the late 15th century, it was modified in the 17th and 19th centuries. Dedicated to Saint Roch, it is remarkable for its elegant stained glass windows and its high bell tower built on an octagonal plan. Also to be discovered: the contemporary look of the modelings and canvases of two visual artists Guy and Isabelle Bourlaud, invited to exhibit in the chapel and in the barn.
