Chateau's Interior Layout:
Ground Floor (Approximately 255 sqm):

- a spacious hall with a grand baluster staircase leading to the first floor.
- Access to the octagonal dovecote tower, featuring multiple loopholes and an archway. A spiral staircase in the tower leads to the second floor and the attic.
- On the left side of the main entrance large living room with a Napoleon III style fireplace.

Attic:
Access to the attic is provided via the 16th-century dovecote tower. The space here is equal in size to the lower level (the southern part with three adjoining rooms), offering substantial possibilities for renovation or adaptation.
