The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice appartenant à un ensemble de vieux immeubles du 16e siècle, groupés entre l'église et les halles, et qui auraient été des dépendances de l'ancien château, mais il paraît plus vraisemblable qu'ils aient servi de logements aux chanoines de la collégiale. Cette maison présente une façade en pierre de taille de granit dont les assises alternent avec du schiste aligné. La partie à l'est présente un pignon : au rez-de-chaussée, porte circulaire avec oeil-de-boeuf, entre deux croisées. La lucarne possède un fronton aux formes rappelant le goût flamand : dans le médaillon du tympan se trouve la date 1601 et une sorte de monogramme.

Edifice belonging to a group of old buildings of the 16th century, gathered between the church and the halls, and which would have been dependencies of the old castle, but it seems more likely that they served as lodgings for the canons of the collegiate church. This house presents a façade of granite ashlar whose courses alternate with aligned slate. The part to the east presents a gable: on the ground floor, circular door with oculus, between two casements. The dormer has a fronton with forms recalling Flemish taste: in the tympanum medallion is found the date 1601 and a sort of monogram.
