History
Built at the end of the 17th century, this pigeon house is a complete and very representative example of the series of these structures constructed on piles in the estates of the Limagne. Above four posts rises the dovecote of square plan whose walls are made of wattle and timber framing. The four-pitched roof is surmounted by a square and pointed lantern.
