The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Intérêt ethnologique de ce type de construction mis en oeuvre du 14e au 17e siècle. Plan rectangulaire avec un rez-de-chaussée en empilage de madriers assemblés aux angles à mi-bois ; et un étage en pans de bois et torchis. Le rez-de-chaussée est accessible par les portes nord et sud. La disposition des baies de l'étage est modifiée. La charpente repose sur une ceinture de deux madriers superposés et assemblés aux angles à mi-bois, au-dessus du solivage. La distribution intérieure ne comportait qu'une pièce, chauffée par une grande cheminée démolie. La construction semble antérieure au 18e siècle.

Ethnological interest of this type of construction implemented from the 14th to the 17th century. Rectangular plan with a ground floor in stacked timber assemblies joined at the corners with half-lap joints; and an upper storey in timber framing and clay and straw. The ground floor is accessible by north and south doors. The arrangement of the openings of the upper storey is modified. The roof structure rests on a band of two superimposed timbers assembled at the corners with half-lap joints, above the joisting. The interior layout comprised only one room, heated by a large chimney now demolished. The construction appears to predate the 18th century.
