In the sixteenth century, the galleries were designed to connect the two residential buildings. In the south, at right angles, advance a wing with two floor which has on its roofs, chimneys Italian, tall and narrow, with interesting inclusions ardoise.Il must imagine the other side of the court, another wing, probably the body of primitive home of the fifteenth century, including Jean Thier during the construction of the castle. This wing, visible on the plans of Androuet Hoop, was destroyed in the seventeenth century to make way for a more modern building that has disappeared in the nineteenth century.
