In the case of historical monuments, facades, roofs and vaulted cellars are registered by order of 7 October 1975; the communes ( stables and cowries), the guardian's house, the kennel, the dovecote, in whole as well as the wall situated in the courtyard with its turret, the well, the gate and gate, the garden and the fence walls are the subject of an inscription by order of 25 February 2002.
