Besides their outdoor appearance, the interior of manor houses show the dichotomy between noble areas and service areas. In the reception and accommodation areas, the artistic features contribute to the ennoblement of the space. The more delicate indoor materials are covered by multi-coloured paintings, bringing these surfaces to life and highlighting the architectural features such as doors and windows. The house boasts several paintings, furniture and oddities. Circulation is done through corridors that communicate with the outside, with many sources of light and ventilation in the various rooms. The wide window opens to the garden and brings in its colour and freshness into the house.
