The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pigeonnier faisant partie des entrepôts du port salin installé sur la Garonne et ne semblant pas avoir été rattaché aux dépendances du château des Jaubertes. D'anciens documents attestent que le bâtiment a été restauré sous Louis XIV. La base large et circulaire sous un mur à léger fruit donne une silhouette trapue au bâtiment. Une première corniche de défense l'entoure. La seconde corniche, servant de base au toit, est moulurée. Une coupole à extrados couvre l'ensemble et est interrompue aux quatre coins cardinaux par quatre lucarnes surmontées chacune d'un fronton semi-circulaire. A l'intérieur subsistent quelques boulins ainsi que la poutre supportant le pivot central.

History
Dovecot forming part of the stores of the salt port installed on the Garonne and not seeming to have been attached to the dependencies of the château des Jaubertes. Old documents attest that the building was restored under Louis XIV. The wide and circular base under a wall with slight batter gives a squat silhouette to the building. A first defensive cornice surrounds it. The second cornice, serving as base for the roof, is moulded. A cupola with external curve covers the whole and is interrupted at the four cardinal corners by four dormers each topped by a semi-circular pediment. In the interior there remain some nesting holes as well as the beam supporting the central pivot.
