The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La façade est percée de fenêtres géminées en plein cintre, ornées chacune d'un chapiteau sculpté (feuillages, têtes humaines). La mouluration et le style des chapiteaux se rattachent à la sculpture romane. Cette construction remonte au milieu du 13e siècle, période de plein épanouissement des mines qui existaient en ce lieu.

The façade is pierced by geminated windows in round arch, each ornamented with a carved capital (foliage, human heads). The moulding and the style of the capitals are related to Romanesque sculpture. This construction dates to the middle of the 13th century, a period of full flourishing of the mines which existed in this place.
