En source Merimee:
This manor is considered to have been the residence of the Senechals of Aure. A prison also existed. The inhabitants of Arreau, Lançon, Jézeau and Peilhac had to keep it safe. The building consists of a central building on which rests a wing in return. The main facade is animated by a square tower emerging from the whole by a floor surmounted by a belvedere. The south facade has a gallery supported by wooden pillars resting on the wall. Access is through four doors. The interior does not retain any element of decor or architecture.

Ce manoir passe pour avoir été la résidence des sénéchaux d'Aure. Une prison existait également. Les habitants d'Arreau, de Lançon, Jézeau et Peilhac devaient en assurer la garde. L'édifice se compose d'un corps de bâtiment central sur lequel s'appuie une aile en retour. La façade principale est animée par une tour carrée se dégageant de l'ensemble par un étage surmonté d'un belvédère. La façade sud présente une galerie supportée par des piliers de bois prenant appui sur le mur. L'accès se fait par quatre portes. L'intérieur ne conserve aucun élément de décor ou d'architecture.
