The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'immeuble porte la date de 1581. La façade principale présente encore deux portes aux jambages sculptés, inspirés d'écussons, banderolles et moulures disposés à mi-hauteur sur ses piedroits renflés par un anneau bas au niveau des plinthes. Pilastres et colonnettes engagés continus sur ces motifs pour soutenir la corniche du linteau de l'entrée. Au-dessus de l'une de ses ouvertures jumelées, une fenêtre conserve son entourage complet : pierre de soutien, pilastres se décrochant à l'entablement, architrave, frise et corniche, fronton triangulaire. Une niche formée de quatre granit horizontaux moulurés et en saillie la superpose.

The building bears the date 1581. The main façade still presents two doors with sculpted jambs, inspired by escutcheons, scroll-work and mouldings arranged at mid-height on its jambs swollen by a low ring at the level of the plinths. Pilasters and engaged colonnettes continuous over these motifs to support the cornice of the lintel of the entrance. Above one of its paired openings, a window preserves its complete surround: stone support, pilasters stepping back at the entablature, architrave, frieze and cornice, triangular pediment. A niche formed by four horizontal granite moulded and projecting stones is superimposed above it.
