Historique
Edifice rectangulaire d'époque Renaissance, achevé en 1605. Il est entouré d'un banc de pierre extérieur et couvert d'une charpente à sablières sculptées. Un clocheton de pierre s'élève sur le pignon ouest dont les rampants, comme ceux du pignon oriental, sont décorés de crochets, de choux et d'animaux fantastiques. Les contreforts sont amortis de pinacles Renaissance. La porte méridionale est constituée par un arc en plein cintre mouluré et accosté de deux pilastres à doubles chapiteaux. Au-dessus se voit une frise très importante, ornée de trois motifs à torsades sculptés. Un fronton triangulaire couronne le tout, lui-même surmonté de trois pommes de pin supportées par des socles.

History
Rectangular building of the Renaissance period, completed in 1605. It is surrounded by an external bench of stone and covered with a roof structure with sculptured roof beams. A stone bell tower rises on the west gable whose slopes, like those of the east gable, are decorated with crockets, cabbage leaves and fantastic animals. The buttresses are finished with Renaissance pinnacles. The southern door consists of a moulded round arch flanked by two pilasters with double capitals. Above is seen a very important frieze, decorated with three motifs with sculptured twisted work. A triangular pediment crowns the whole, itself topped by three pine cones supported by bases.
