The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Vers 1606, les Jésuites du collège de Rodez firent construire cette maison des vignes comme résidence d'été. L'édifice est vendu comme bien national en 1793. C'est un bâtiment rectangulaire de trois niveaux sur cave. Au centre de la façade nord est accolée une tour. Sur la façade nord de la tour, un bâtiment de plan en U, renferme les communs, et est doté à l'est d'un four à pain semi-circulaire. La tour contient un escalier tournant à quatre volées desservant les pièces du corps de logis. La décoration des pièces a presque entièrement disparu. Les quatre cheminées du rez-de-chaussée et du premier étage ont conservé le décor stuqué de leur manteau.

History
Around 1606, the Jesuits of the college of Rodez had this house of vineyards built as a summer residence. The building is sold as national property in 1793. It is a rectangular building of three storeys above a basement. At the centre of the north façade is attached a tower. On the north façade of the tower, a building of U-shaped plan contains the outbuildings, and is provided to the east with a semi-circular bread oven. The tower contains a winding staircase of four flights serving the rooms of the main dwelling. The decoration of the rooms has almost entirely disappeared. The four chimneys of the ground floor and first floor have preserved the stucco decoration of their mantels.
