Comments

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.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Le châtelet d'entrée, cantonné de quatre tourelles circulaires, date du XVIe siècle et fut probablement construit par Jean Le Veneur. C'est un pavillon à deux étages. Sa construction associe des briques rouges et noires. Son style Louis XII est caractéristique de cette période de transition entre le Gothique et la Renaissance. Il est gothique par la composition de son décor, par les pinacles ou la présence de crochets sur les gâbles triangulaires ; il est Renaissance par le traitement de ces éléments.
