The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La maison faisait partie d'un ancien domaine des Templiers de la commanderie d'Andrivault puis de Condat. Il y avait une chapelle Saint-Blaise dont la maison a conservé une porte, un bénitier et une pierre d'autel. La construction actuelle a été réalisée sur les fondations d'une ancienne demeure. Remaniée à diverses époques, l'habitation se compose d'un corps de logis central. L'escalier en pierre de plan carré semble la construction la plus ancienne de la demeure. La salle à manger présente un sol en galets disposés de façon décorative, reproduisant des symboles templiers. Sur un mur de cette salle se voit la date de 1601 ou 1605. La charpente daterait du 18e siècle.

The house was part of an old estate of the Templars of the commandery of Andrivault then of Condat. There was a chapel of Saint-Blaise of which the house retained a door, a holy water stoup and an altar stone. The current construction was built on the foundations of a former dwelling. Altered at various periods, the dwelling consists of a central main dwelling. The staircase in stone of square plan appears to be the oldest construction in the dwelling. The dining room has a floor of pebbles arranged decoratively, reproducing Templar symbols. On a wall of this room the date 1601 or 1605 is visible. The roof structure would date from the 18th century.
