The south-west tower could have been a Hall of Justice, but its transformation into apartment destroyed specifics.
The dwelling, rectangular fortified house, rebuilt in the fifteenth century is pierced with mullioned windows. It is backed by the remains of the north curtain wall. The door, prismatic moldings, opens onto a staircase out, something unusual at that time, the screw being lit by windows framed.
