The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La tourelle d'escalier constitue l'unique élément intéressant de cet immeuble du 15e siècle ayant perdu tout caractère en façade et dans la cour intérieure. La tourelle ouvre par une porte à partir de bases prismatiques, les piédroits sont moulurés d'un cavet entre deux tores dont l'un plus gros chargé d'un filet. Deux cavets encadrent ce corps de moulures. L'arc brisé est de même mouluration. Le tympan, souligné par un linteau mouluré d'une baguette, est chargé d'un écu sculpté en relief d'armoiries, surmonté d'un cimier à l'abondant panache et entouré de deux palmes aux tiges croisées sous sa pointe.

The staircase turret constitutes the sole interesting element of this 15th-century building which has lost all character on its façade and in the inner courtyard. The turret opens by a door from prismatic bases, the jambs are moulded with a cavetto between two tori of which the larger one is charged with a fillet. Two cavettos frame this body of mouldings. The pointed arch has the same mouluration. The tympanum, underlined by a moulded lintel with a baguette, is charged with a coat of arms sculpted in relief, surmounted by a crest with abundant plumes and surrounded by two palms with stems crossed beneath its point.
