The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ancien logis du 16e siècle conservant, à l'intérieur, un curieux escalier en bois, orné de sculptures naïves qui s'enroulent dans un enchaînement de rinceaux et de volutes depuis l'huis jusqu'aux poinçons et arbalétriers. Rosaces, entrelacs, lierre, grappes et feuilles de vigne, ornent le limon et offrent une transition décorative entre le Moyen-Age et la Renaissance. Le poteau du palier reproduit la tour et le clocher de l'église Saint-Mélaine. Le visage du saint tient lieu d'appui main.

History
Former 16th-century main dwelling preserving, in the interior, a curious wooden staircase, adorned with naive sculptures which wind in a chain of scrollwork and volutes from the door to the posts and braces. Rosettes, interlace, ivy, grapes and vine leaves, ornament the string and offer a decorative transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The newel post of the landing reproduces the tower and bell tower of the church of Saint-Mélaine. The face of the saint serves as a handrail.
