The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'ancien prieuré Saint-Etienne-de-la-Grange, de la première moitié du 13e siècle, dépendait de l'abbaye prémontrée de Saint-Jean-de-Castelle. Contre une chapelle gothique, un corps de bâtiment flanqué d'une tourelle polygonale renfermant un escalier à vis contenait les pièces d'habitation. Dans la chapelle, un ensemble de peintures murales du 14e siècle couvre les murs et le voûtement. Des remaniements on été effectués aux 16e et 17e siècles (tour d'escalier, portes, fenêtres...).

History
The former priory of Saint-Etienne-de-la-Grange, from the first half of the 13th century, depended on the Premonstratensian abbey of Saint-Jean-de-Castelle. Against a Gothic chapel, a building block flanked by a polygonal turret containing a spiral staircase contained the residential rooms. In the chapel, a set of wall paintings of the 14th century covers the walls and vaulting. Alterations were made in the 16th and 17th centuries (staircase tower, doors, windows...).
